About the piece
Painted in 1834 by Antonio María Esquivel, this masterful Romantic portrait depicts Manuel María Gutiérrez. The work showcases Esquivel's skill in rendering fine details, from the sitter's steady gaze to the intricate textures of his pleated silver stock and gilded lapels, set against a muted atmospheric background.
