Manuel Bartolomé Cossío is a 1908 oil by Joaquín Sorolla, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museo del Prado.
This painting depicts a man dressed in a dark suit, with his hands in his pockets. He stands in front of a wall, with a small framed picture hanging on it. The man's attire is formal, and his posture conveys a sense of confidence. The artist's use of oil paint creates a rich, textured surface that adds depth to the image. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The artist who created this portrait is Joaquín Sorolla.
Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (27 February 1863 – 10 August 1923) was a Spanish painter.
