The friend Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala 

This etching by Mariano Fortuny depicts a seated man in a contemplative pose, perhaps a portrait of the artist's friend Eduardo Zamacois. The detailed, expressive lines used in the etching evoke a sense of realism and capture the sitter's thoughtful expression. Created by the Spanish painter and printmaker Mariano Fortuny Marsal (1838-1874), this piece is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The use of light and shadow and the subtle texture of the etching further contribute to the depth and realism of the image.
