This exquisite portrait captures the essence of Vicente Maria De Vera De Aragon, who was the Duke of La Roca. Goya, known for his penetrating psychological insights in portraiture, presents the Duke in an atmosphere of refined elegance.In this painting, the Duke is depicted sitting by a table, with a book opened in front of him, suggesting his engagement with intellectual pursuits. His attire is regal and meticulously detailed, highlighting his high status. He wears a white jacket adorned with golden embroidery and multiple decorations, including a prominent red sash and a star medal, indicative of his illustrious military or civic contributions.The background is subdued, a typical Goyan choice, which directs all attention to the subject. The naturalistic rendering of the Duke’s features and the careful depiction of the textures of his clothing showcase Goya's mastery in portraiture.This painting not only captures the personal dignity of the Duke but also serves as a window into the fashion and cultural bearings of Spanish nobility in the late 18th century.
