About the piece

Painted in 1866 by the celebrated French artist Carolus-Duran, this portrait depicts the Spanish painter Matías Moreno. The subject is rendered with masterful psychological depth, his dark attire and delicate golden chain contrasted beautifully against a bold, terracotta-toned background that adds warmth and a sense of old-world heritage to any room.
