Catalogue Note
The Marqués de la Marismas del Guadalquivir was a Spanish banker who began the Spanish War of Independence fighting against the French but subsequently passed to the side of Joseph Bonaparte. He was a major collector of paintings and several sales were held after his death to disperse the collection. He is known to have owned at least seven paintings by Murillo.
