About the piece
This 1864 portrait by Mariano Fortuny Marsal depicts the sculptor Jeroni Suñol in a moment of contemplation. The work is masterfully rendered with loose, expressive brushwork and a rich, earthy palette, punctuated by the vibrant red of his traditional Catalan barretina. Suñol is shown in his studio environment, holding a memento mori skull that adds a layer of intellectual depth to the composition.
