About this artwork
A full-length portrait of José María Magallón y Armendáriz, the Marquis of San Adrián, leaning against a stone pedestal with a top hat. Painted by Francisco Goya, it captures the subject in the fashionable attire of the early 19th-century Spanish aristocracy.
Did you know?
The Marquis of San Adrián was a well-known intellectual and liberal politician of his time, often caught in the turbulent political shifts of 19th-century Spain. Goya's choice to depict him in a relaxed, leaning posture was a departure from more rigid, formal portraiture of the era, reflecting the Marquis's sophisticated and somewhat nonchalant personality.
