According to the inscription on the
right, this is a portrait of the
painter and friend of Madrazo,
Eduardo Rosales.
The detailed rendering of the face
in profile stands out against the
neutral green background. The very
loose brushstrokes are applied with
large gestures, bringing out the
highlights on the forehead, nose
and ear and drawing especial
attention to the red button of the
Legion of Honor, which Rosales
received in Paris in 1867 for his
work Isabel la Católica dictating
her Last Will and Testament
(P4625)
This work was acquired by the
Museum of Modern Art in 1959.
