About the piece
Painted in 1786, this masterful portrait by Francisco Goya captures King Charles III of Spain in full royal regalia. The monarch is depicted in a rich forest-green coat adorned with intricate gold embroidery, wearing the blue and white sash of the Order of Charles III, set against a muted and dignified interior backdrop.
