Austrian Grenadier officer

Photo by Mark Price. This is at the Military history museum Vienna. 
Haven't been able to find out more. Maybe you know?
   I went there with a group of reenactors c1990 and it was closed for refurbishment but Phillip Elliot-Wright pleaded  and they specially opened the 18th and Napoleonic rooms just for us. Nice.

    Apparently, it's a modern copy of a c. 1717 painting representing an Austrian captain of grenadiers. Enter "Hauptmann Sigmund Graf Engl von Wagrein" here:
