This is a portrait of Francisco Antonio Lorenzana, Archbishop of Toledo, engraved by Manuel Salvador Carmona in 1800. It was included in the Missale Gothicum secundum regulam Beati Isidori Hispalensis Episcopi printed in Rome by Antonio Fulgoni in 1804. It reproduces Agustín Esteve’s painting (currently in the Count of Finat’s collection in Madrid) with slight additions. It served as a model for many copies either directly or indirectly, such as for the oil painting by Matías Moreno González (Museo Nacional del Prado, P03423) copying that of Francisco Javier de Santiago Palomares in the Toledo cathedral’s library.
