This portrait depicts Don José Marí da as a proud young aristocrat. The sitter wears a splendid silk dress coat and vest lavishly embroidered with flowers in the Neoclassical style. A high collar partially covers a magnificent lace frill matched by lace sleeves. He carries a black tricorn hat under his left arm and inserts his right hand into his vest, in a gesture common in male portraits of the period including Jeremiah Theus's image, hanging nearby, of a youthful North American (30.59).

Born in Mexico, Don José Marí da (Gómez de) Cervantes y Altamirano de Velasco (1786 1856) entered the royal army with the rank of Captain of the Distinguished Patriot of Ferdinand VII in 1810, rising to commander, and then to colonel by 1813. He began to sympathize with the rebels in 1815, joined the independence movement, and signed the Act of Independence of the Mexican Empire in 1821.
