The portraitee, chamberlain to King Philip II and warden of the Country House, is dressed in black, except for cuffs and frills, his figure silhouetted against a neutral background. His head is covered with a hat that is also black, his right hand is resting on the belt and he is holding gloves in his left hand. His only adornment is a chain with a gold crucifix, which apparently he kept with him at all times -he asked to have it buried with him in his will-. The anonymous author of the work must have been close to the immediate environment of the famous portrait painter Alonso Sánchez Coello (Text drawn from cat. exp. Los Objetos Hablan, Sevilla, 2016).
