Portrait of Don Pedro de Barberana c. 1631 - 1633

"Portrait of Don Pedro de Barberana" is an oil on canvas painting by Spanish artist Diego Velázquez created between 1631 and 1633. The painting depicts a wealthy Spanish nobleman in a three-quarter length portrait. He stands holding a black hat, dressed in black with a red cross embroidered on his chest.
