GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de: Infante Don Sebastián Gabriel de Borbón y Braganza

🖼 Infante Don Sebastián Gabriel de Borbón y Braganza, 1822
Oil on canvas
144 × 105 cm

Soft brushwork captures the young infante in formal dress, his delicate features rendered with tender attention against a muted background. Goya's late portrait reveals the Spanish court's declining power through intimate psychological presence rather than ceremonial grandeur.
