Notes Goya portrays the Duke of Osuna without any medals in front of a dark background. Only the truncheon shows points to his military merits. The vivid dark eyes of the aristocrat, who was a supporter of the Enlightenment lend the sensitively painted portrait an amazing presence. With lively brush-strokes, the painter created a richly varied surface structure, capturing the reflection of light on the duke's clothes. The Duke of Osuna, co-founder of a society for the promotion of national cultural consciousness, and his wife proved to be major art-lovers. The pair were among Goya's most important clients.
