The oil on canvas print measures 109x88 cm and can be found at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. In this striking artwork, Velazquez skillfully captures the essence of Juan Francisco Pimentel, who was known for his noble status as the count of Benavento. Pimentel's commanding presence is enhanced by his distinguished beard and mustache, which exude an air of authority and power. The count is depicted wearing a magnificent helmet with a visor that adds to his regal appearance. His military uniform further emphasizes his role as a soldier and highlights his dedication to serving his country. A sword rests at his side, symbolizing both strength and honor.
