About the piece
Painted in 1898 by Manuel Feliu de Lemus, this portrait depicts Joan Baptista Parés in a thoughtful side profile. The masterful use of chiaroscuro emphasizes the sitter's features and textured beard, while the deep, monochromatic palette of his coat and the background creates a sophisticated, scholarly presence.
