Portrait of Juan de Córdoba is a 1630 oil by Diego Velázquez, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Man, held at Capitoline Museums.
This portrait painting depicts a man with dark, curly hair and a mustache. He is dressed in a black coat with a white collar, set against a light-colored background. The subject's gaze is directed towards the viewer, and his facial expression appears neutral. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The level of detail in the subject's attire and the subtle play of light on his face suggest a high level of skill and attention to detail.
