About the piece
Painted in 1850 by Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer, this dignified portrait captures King Alfonso X of Castile, known as 'the Wise.' Dressed in elaborate robes adorned with the heraldry of Castile and León, the king holds a golden scepter and his famous legal code, the 'Siete Partidas,' framed by deep golden drapes and architectural pillars.
