El Greco's "Portrait of Jeronimo de Cevallos" is a striking example of his distinctive style, painted in 1613. The elongated figures and dramatic use of light and shadow are characteristic of the artist's work, which often depicted religious themes but also included portraits. The subject's prominent ruff collar, a fashion statement of the time, is emphasized by the artist's skillful use of brushwork and the muted background. This portrait, now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent individual during El Greco's later period.
