Portrait of Don José Queralto 1802

"Portrait of Don José Queralto" is an oil painting on canvas by Francisco Goya, created in 1802 and currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. The painting depicts Don José Queralto, a Spanish military officer, in a formal portrait. The sitter is rendered realistically, with a dark background that contrasts with the highlights of the subject's attire and face. Goya's signature use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, further emphasizing the subject's presence within the frame. The painting is a quintessential example of Goya's portraiture during his later period.
