Portrait of king ferdinand vii of spain (1784-1833). It is a work for propaganda and official purposes, although some authors highlight that the monarch is shown with "great coldness" and even "antipathy.

And this work, along with the portrait of the duke of san carlos, which is also kept in the museum of zaragoza, was commissioned from goya in september 1814 by the imperial canal board of aragon at the proposal of martín de garay, who shortly before had been appointed protector of the aforementioned canal.
