Juan Bautista de Muguiro 1827

This portrait of Juan Bautista de Muguiro, painted in 1827 by the Spanish master Francisco Goya, showcases the artist's late style. Goya, known for his satirical and often dark works, captures Muguiro with a sense of realism and subtlety. The painting, now housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, depicts Muguiro seated and holding a letter, suggesting a moment of contemplation. This work, painted just a year before Goya's death, is a testament to his enduring talent and keen observation of human nature.
