A sepia-toned museum reproduction postcard captures the commanding presence of Francisco José Goya y Lucientes' portrait of Don Vicente Maria de Vera Ladrón de Guevera, Marqués de Sofraga — a Spanish nobleman rendered in the master's unflinching realist style, seated at a writing desk with an open book, his chest adorned with a star medallion and sash of rank. Painted between 1746 and 1828, this Goya is rendered here in rich photographic halftone, the aristocrat's powdered wig and embroidered cuffs vivid even in monochrome. The card was issued by The Fine Arts Society of San Diego, California, noting the painting was anonymously donated to the institution — adding a layer of mystery to its provenance that collectors of museum-issue ephemera will appreciate.
