Portrait of a Gentleman

Juan Andres Rizi, 1630–1680

A Benedictine monk, this artist worked extensively for his order and for the court in Madrid before going to Rome. His style is sober and realistic, owing a debt to Velazquez which has sometimes led his portraits to be confused with those of Velazquez' assistant and son-in-law, Mazo.
