About the piece
Painted in 1644, this portrait by Diego Velázquez depicts King Philip IV of Spain during the military campaign in Fraga. The work is celebrated for its virtuosic brushwork, particularly in the shimmering silver embroidery of the king's scarlet costume, which stands out against the dark, atmospheric background.
