The painting, executed in the 17th century, maintains the characteristic sobriety of Spanish portraiture, with a predominance of dark tones that highlight the monarch's illuminated face. The severe and collected expression, along with the carefully rendered beard and sober attire, convey the image of power and spirituality characteristic of the "prudent king." The gilded Baroque frame, richly carved with plants and flowers, enhances the overall elegance and lends an air of historical solemnity.
