Portrait. Oil On Canvas. Dedicated, Signed (f. Lloret.) And Dated (1897)
Portrait. Oil on canvas. Dedicated, signed (F. Lloret.) and dated (1897) in the lower left corner.
Against an unspecified background, the knight's bust is depicted, his face turned slightly to the right. In the lower left corner, we can read the dedication ("To Porfirio / his friend"), the painter's signature and the date of the work's creation ("F/97"). As in the rest of Europe, the portrait was a very popular genre in 19th-century Spain, mainly thanks to social changes (the rise of the upper middle class, etc.) that influenced aesthetics. Hence the degree of intimacy that emerges from the painting, different from the "official portraits" preferred by the nobility. ·
Dimensions: 47 x 5 x 59 cm
