A full-length portrait of Federico
Flórez as a boy, wearing the
uniform of the School of Noble
Students of Madrid.
This work is especially significant
in Madrazo's oeuvre, as it is one
of the few examples of a portrait
in a landscape. The evocation of
Velasquez's world is combined with
the approach of European
Romanticism, including a
sensationalist lighting that
envelops the figure in a
crepuscular atmosphere, giving it a
somewhat melancholy mood.
