Portrait of a child with a horse, Prince Baltasar Carlos (1629-1646), son of Philip IV. The painting was intended to promote the authority of the future king, who already posed in the style of his father and grandfather. Hence, the scepter in his right hand and the military attire, even as a child.
The background landscape indicates that the character is located in El Pardo (town of Madrid). The view is directed towards the mountains of the Sierra de Hoyo de Manzanares.
Painting also known as Prince Baltasar Carlos on Horseback.
