El escritor Pelegrín García Cadena is a 1870 oil by Francisco Domingo Marqués, held at Museo del Prado.
This portrait features a man with dark hair, a mustache, and a beard, wearing a red scarf around his neck. He is dressed in dark attire, with the scarf being the most prominent splash of color in the painting. The background is a muted brown tone. The subject's facial expression is neutral, and his gaze is directed straight ahead. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and introspective. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait. For more on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
