About the piece
Painted around 1900 by Spanish artist José San Bartolomé Llaneces, this portrait is a masterful exercise in historicism. The subject is depicted in the style of the Spanish Golden Age, wearing a prominent pleated ruff and wire-rimmed spectacles, set against a moody, tenebrist background that emphasizes the textured details of the face and collar.
