## Commentary

This portrait was painted in 1839, at a time when López was the foremost portrait painter in Spain, following the death of Goya in 1828. The remarkable attention to detail, the precision of brushwork and realism with which the artist captures the character of his sitter, reveals the qualities for which he was so widely admired during his lifetime, as still today.
