Did you know?
The Duke of Osuna was a prominent aristocrat and one of Goya's most important patrons, famously supporting the artist throughout his career. This particular portrait was commissioned long after the Duke's death, as the family continued to honor their relationship with the painter. It reflects the shift in Goya's style from the polished court portraits of his earlier career toward a more introspective and fluid Romantic approach.
