Ferdinand of spain (1571-1578) was the son of philip ii of spain and a half-brother of archduchess isabella. He still wears a skirt, so he must be about four years old. Coello trained in brussels and spent much of his career in philip's service. His portrait of ferdinand in a green coat with a pet bird was in the king's estate; this is that painting or a version made for a relative such as isabella. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait.
