A portrait of Ignacio, the artist´s youngest son and one of his favorite models, shown here at the age of eleven. The profusion of child portraits by Pinazo is based on his capacity to capture the freshness and spontaneity of children´s acts, making works of great intimacy and closeness. This portrait may be one of the painter´s finest and it reveals his most personal characteristics. The dark tonality and long black lines bring out the profiles, but the boy´s head is shaped with very loose and technically masterful brushstrokes that reveal Pinazo´s ability to perfectly combine lines with a spontaneous touch. The youth´s placement with a black background that brings out his figure, and the perfect overall composition of this paintings, with the boy´s position slightly turned, make this portrait one of the author´s best works. It won first prize at the National Exhibition of 1899.
