About the piece
This formal 1875 portrait by Manuel Ussel de Guimbarda depicts King Alfonso XII of Spain in a moment of youthful poise. Dressed in a dark military tunic, white trousers, and high black boots, he stands against a backdrop of sweeping green drapery, with the Spanish crown resting on a crimson-covered table beside him. The painting showcases masterful brushwork and a rich, traditional palette, capturing the dignified presence of the restored Bourbon monarch.
