Retrato de Carlos IV, rey de España — Historia y Análisis

Carlos IV aparece vestido de caza, sosteniendo un rifle largo en su mano derecha mientras un perro se sienta a sus pies, mirándolo con expectativa. Lleva un sombrero negro de ala ancha y una banda con insignias reales cruzando su pecho, todo ello en un paisaje sobrio bajo una luz suave y difusa. Francisco Goya pintó este retrato de Carlos IV de España en la década de 1790 para María Isabel de España, la hija del rey.

Durante años, esta obra y su pendant fueron consideradas copias, pero desde entonces han sido reconocidas como obras autógrafas del propio Goya. El sujeto, Carlos IV, aparece en atuendo de caza, reflejando su estatus real e intereses personales tal como los retrató el artista a finales del siglo XVIII.
