Alonzo Cano's "A king of Spain" (1643) depicts a regal figure seated upon a throne, likely a Spanish monarch. The king is adorned with a crown and opulent garments, holding a sword and a globe, symbolizing power and dominion. Cano's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and compelling portrait, showcasing the king's authority and the grandeur of his reign. The artwork is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.
