About the piece

Created in 1789 by Agustín Esteve, this formal portrait captures King Charles IV of Spain at the start of his reign. The monarch is depicted in a magnificent red coat adorned with elaborate silver-thread embroidery and the blue sash of the Order of Charles III. Set against a deep, dark background, the rich colors and fine details of the royal costume are brought into sharp relief, embodying the dignity and power of the Spanish crown.
