Background and Analysis

'Bartolomé Sureda y Miserol' is a vertical portrait of a young man, shown from the knees up. The subject leans on his right elbow against a ledge, holding a black top hat in that hand. His body faces the viewer, while he looks slightly off to the left.

The painting reflects Goya's intimate response to a friend and displays the sitter's relaxed stance and disheveled hair, which signify his affinity for contemporary French fashion and sympathy for current French politics. The subject is Bartolomé Sureda y Miserol, a young liberal who was an industrialist and director of the Spanish royal porcelain factory at Buen Retiro.

Goya's life spanned a period of political upheaval and military turmoil. In the early years of the nineteenth century, before witnessing the horror of the Peninsular wars, Goya welcomed the idea of a Napoleonic invasion, believing the ideals of the French revolution to be the only antidote to the abuses of the Spanish monarchy. Sureda was one of a group of like-minded liberal intellectuals who shared Goya's views.
