Portrait of a man (Marques de Souza Holstein), by Federico Madrazo y Kuntz (1815-1894)

The artist was from an illustrious family of painters and was himself Director of The Prado in succession to his father, and President of the Academy of San Ferrnando.

 

An inscription to the right of the bust names the 'Marques de Souza Holstein' but the actual identity of the sitter is uncertain.

 

Oil on canvas, dated in the picture at left 1856 and at right 1871 (or 1874)
