Painting Philip 4 Spanish in brown and silver, painted in 1631-1632, is considered one of the best in the entire gallery of portraits of this friend and patron of Velasquez.
The full-dressed, magnificently dressed monarch stands between the table, behind which he manages his state affairs, and the bright red hanging draperies that seem to emphasize the crown’s greatness.
Perfectly written is the face of this man – an educated monarch and an exquisite gentleman, lover of beautiful women. With soft curls, golden hair falls on the shoulders, the tips of the twirled mustache stick out, the chest decorates the Order of the Golden Fleece.
