About Artwork: (1850-90) "An unidentified man wearing fine seventeenth-century Spanish costume stands in a roughly sketched interior. His wealth is emphasised by the silver embroidery on his jacket, the fanciful slashed sleeves and the broad-brimmed hat lined with white feathers. He rests his arm on a chair and looks out at us. Underneath the thick curtain beside him it is just possible to make out the outlines of flowers. These belong to an earlier painting – a still life – and indicate that the artist of the painting reused an old canvas, probably dating from the seventeenth or eighteenth century. This is a nineteenth-century imitation attributed to León y Escosura of a seventeenth-century painting. It is based on a life-size picture of a dwarf in the manner of Velázquez which is in the Prado, Madrid." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
