From the collection of National Museum of Ancient Art
Portrait of King John VI (1821) is a 1821 oil by Domingos Sequeira, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
The painting features a man dressed in a white and red cloak, with a gold belt around his waist. He stands beside a red chair, with his right hand resting on the back of the chair. The background is a warm, earthy tone. The man's attire and the regal setting suggest a formal portrait. The artist's use of warm colors and the subject's dignified pose convey a sense of importance. This painting invites exploration of the artist, Domingos Sequeira.
Domingos António de Sequeira (10 March 1768 – 8 March 1837) was a Portuguese painter at the Royal Court of King John VI of Portugal.
