This painting testifies to Murillo’s ability to give his portraits a quality of psychological presence. Don Andrés de Andrade y la Cal was pertiguero, or marshal of processions in the cathedral of Seville. Murillo adopted a formula used by both Titian and Velázquez in their portraits of Spanish royalty; his sitter is dressed in black and rests his right hand on his mastiff. The setting is a classical portico with the sitter’s family coat of arms on the pier at left.
