Goya was one of the great portraitists of his time. In 1786 he was appointed court painter for the Spanish crown, turning out commissions for royalty and aristocracy. This more casual portrait, painted much later in his career, depicts Jacques Galos, the governor of a bank in Bordeaux, France, who handled Goya's personal finances. Goya settled in Bordeaux in 1823 after fleeing Spain to escape the oppressive rule of King Ferdinand VII; he spent the last eight years of his life there.
