About the piece
Painted in 1876, this oil on panel portrait by Spanish artist Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta depicts the prominent art dealer Samuel P. Avery. The work showcases the artist's refined technique through the luminous treatment of the sitter's face and the delicate textures of his formal attire, set against a painterly, atmospheric green background that provides a sophisticated contrast.
