Abstract


This portrait which reappeared on the Madrid art market, does not represent Felipe IV but his younger brother the Cardinal Infante, victor at the battle of Nördlingen. The author revises the inventories, rejects a Flemish attribution, and concludes that the most likely hypothesis is that it is the “painting of the Archduke”, n.º 590 in Velázquez’s 1660 inventory.
