Reproductions After Goya Appraisal

Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zúñiga (Reproductions after Goya)

This item is a framed reproduction print of Francisco Goya's famous 18th-century masterpiece 'Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zúñiga' (often titled 'The Boy in Red'). The image depicts a young boy dressed in a vibrant red silk jumpsuit with a white lace collar and a silver sash, holding a string attached to a pet magpie. To the left, several cats watch the bird intently, and to the right is a cage filled with finches. The color palette is dominated by the bold red of the boy's outfit against a muted, shadowed background and a dark green matting. This specific piece is housed under glass within a thin, modern gold-toned metal frame, indicative of late 20th-century framing styles. The matting is a deep forest green with a narrow gold-toned inner border that matches the outer frame. Regarding condition, the frame appears intact with no significant denting visible, though there is a noticeable vertical reflection on the glass surface. The print itself seems to have maintained its color saturation well, though the paper may have slight age-related yellowing or foxing that is obscured by the glass. The style reflects 18th-century Spanish Portraiture, though the materials—specifically the metal frame and modern matting—suggest this is a high-quality decorative lithograph or offset print rather than an original worked canvas. There are no visible signatures or edition numbers on the face of the print, suggesting it was produced for a mass-market retail or museum shop context.
