About the piece

Painted in 1794, this formal portrait by Francisco Goya depicts Félix Colón de Larriátegui, a notable Spanish military jurist. The work showcases Goya's mastery of texture, from the intricate silver embroidery of the sitter's waistcoat to the soft, intelligent rendering of his face. Seated beside his legal volumes, the subject exudes an air of quiet authority and intellectual depth.
