About the piece

Painted around 1750 by Antoni Viladomat i Manalt, this oil portrait depicts a Knight of the Order of Saint John with dignified composure. The subject's features are softly illuminated against a somber background, highlighting the intricate white and blue Maltese cross on his coat—a symbol of his prestigious chivalric rank.
