| | Portraits: The Royal Family (from Charles III to Fernando VII) |
 | | His principal clients were Charles III and Chales IV, whom he served as court painter from June 1786, with a salary of 15,000 reales a year, which rose to 50,000 on the 31st of October 1799, when he was named First Court-Painter. |
 | | His first commission, Charles III, hunter (1788, Prado Museum), a consequence of a painting commissioned by the Bank of San Carlos, is a conscious homage to Philip IV, hunter (1636, Prado Museum). |
 | | The family of Charles IV is a paradigmatic work; there is no focus, although the king, queen and their successor The Principe de Asturias stand out. |
