About the piece
Painted around 1800 by the Spanish master Francisco Goya, this portrait depicts Cardinal Luis María de Borbón y Vallabriga. The subject's dignified presence is emphasized by the luminous treatment of his scarlet robes and the intricate lace of his rochet, set against a characteristic Goyaesque dark void.
