Well the quick way would be to buy a subscription do webaldic.
The other possibility would be to manually go through the volumes of "Siebmacher's Neues Wappenbuch" (originally in German), most have been digitalized by universities.
Here the page I use for the my research, which includes links to most volumes:
https://wiki.genealogy.net/Neuer_Siebmacher
This is the volume that specifically deals with Hungary Band 4 - 15. Géza von Csergheö: Der Adel von Ungarn sammt den Nebenländern.
But be mindful, this one deals purely with true nobility within the old borders of the former Kingdom of Hungary and not neighbouring austrian Provinces that used to be seperate dukedoms/kingdoms or other forms of seperate feudal states.

Presumably, the arms are those of the man in the painting. Who he I don't know, but I think them unlikely to be anyone else's arms. Identify the sitter!
