Artwork Description

José Campeche's paintings usually have a highly finished, almost glassy surface, but this portrait retains the visible brushstrokes used to model the sitters features. Despite his African ancestry, Campeche did not often paint African subjects. Most of his sitters, including this horseman, were fair-skinned Europeans. (Andrew Connors, José Campeche's San Juan Nepomuceno, American Art, Summer 1997)
