Portrait of a Gentleman 

This painting by Leonardo Alenza is a portrait of an unidentified gentleman, executed in a realistic style. The subject, dressed in formal attire, is rendered in dark hues against a simple, dark background. This creates a sense of intimacy, drawing the viewer's attention to the sitter's expressive eyes and subtle, contemplative expression. The painting provides a glimpse into 19th-century portraiture, capturing a moment of introspection and the individual's place within a larger societal context.
