About the piece

Painted in 1815, this portrait by Francisco Goya depicts Don Miguel de Lardizábal with the artist's characteristic psychological depth and expressive brushwork. The subject is shown in a dark uniform adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a striking bicolored sash, providing a sharp contrast to the moody, minimalist background. It stands as a refined example of Goya's late-period portraiture.
