José de Ibarra

painting by Miguel Rudecindo Contreras

Statements

Portrait of José de Ibarra. This work was long considered a self-portrait, first of Miguel Cabrera and then of José de Ibarra. Recently the matter of its authorship was cleared up based on a document in the files of the old San Carlos Academy which mentions a "portrait of Don José Ibarra done by Contreras", presented as a gift to the authorities in 1790 by the painter Rafael Joaquín Gutiérrez in order to attain the rank of senior academic in the field of painting.
