From the collection of Clark Art Institute
Asensio Juliá is a 1814 oil by Francisco Goya, held at Clark Art Institute.
The painting depicts a man in a top hat and a brown coat, sitting at a desk with a quill pen in his right hand. He is wearing a blue shirt and a black bow tie, and has a white cloth around his neck. The background of the painting is a muted brown color. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes are cast downward, as if he is focused on his writing. His right hand holds the quill pen, and his left hand rests on the desk. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Francisco Goya.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
