About the piece
Painted around 1900 by José San Bartolomé Llaneces, this striking portrait evokes the masterworks of the Spanish Golden Age. The subject, an elderly man with wire-rimmed glasses, is framed by a stiff white ruff collar, his weathered features rendered with luminous realism against a deep, atmospheric background.
