About the piece

Painted in 1795 by Francisco Goya, this formal portrait captures the Duke of Roca in a moment of quiet authority. Seated at a desk with an open book, the subject is rendered with Goya's characteristic luminous brushwork, particularly in the brilliant white of his uniform which contrasts sharply with the rich red and blue of his honorary sashes and medals.
