Portrait of Don Pedro de Barberana y Aparregui
Painting attributed to Velázquez / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portrait of Don Pedro de Barberana y Aparregui is an oil on canvas painting attributed to Velázquez and painted around 1631–1633. It has been in the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas since 1981.
Vélasquez uses a similar technique to portray the figure's contours and the reflections on the clothing to his portraits of Portrait of Don Diego del Corral y Arellano [es] and his wife Portrait of Doña Antonia de Ipeñarrieta y Galdós and her son don Luis. However, in this case, he makes the space more neutral by leaving it empty to reinforce the strength of the figure.[1]
