About the piece
Painted in 1904, Ignacio Zuloaga's 'The Hermit' captures a solitary figure in a moment of quiet reflection. The rich textures of his white shirt and deep red sash contrast with the somber inclusion of a skull and heavy book, characteristic of the Spanish master's interest in traditional and spiritual themes.
