Commented Works: "Portrait of a Man", by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo 

María Álvarez-Garcillán, Museo del Prado restorer, comments on "Portrait of a Man" (Ca.1660), by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.
A gentleman dressed in black stands before a side table covered with a red cloth. The fact that he has long hair allows this portrait to be dated to the second half of the seventeenth century. Both the composition and style of this work indicate that it dates from a relatively early date within the career of Murillo, the most important Spanish portraitist of the day working outside the Court.
