About the piece
This 1904 oil study by Ramon Casas captures the young King Alfonso XIII with a modern, painterly sensibility. The deep, textured red background creates a dramatic contrast with the king's dark attire and fair features, embodying the sophisticated, moody aesthetic of early 20th-century European portraiture.
