]]> This family portrait by José Elbo Peñuelas shows Manuel de Pezuela y Ceballos, Marquis of Viluma, dressed in a dark frock coat and decorated with the Grand Cross of the Most Noble and Distinguished Order of Charles III. Beside him is his wife, Francisca de Borja de la Puente y Bustamante, accompanied by their daughter, Catalina de la Pezuela y de la Puente, both fashionably dressed with puffed sleeves and a plunging neckline. The sitters are depicted in a bourgeois interior dominated by decorum and austerity. However, the furniture and furnishings that stand out in the composition are a piano, a chair next to a vase with roses, a mirror and a landscape. The Marquis of Viluma was noted for his political activity and his strong Carlist views, which he moderated over time as he became one of the most influential politicians of the 19th century, presiding over the Senate on three occasions. Elbo’s work describes the domestic life of a high bourgeois household during the 19th century, showing the standard of living, consumption through objects and how people lived.
