Portrait of Nicolás Omazur and Isabel del Malcampo, by Murillo

Portrait of Nicolás Omazur and Isabel del Malcampo, by Murillo

These portraits represent Nicolás Omazur (image 1) and his wife Isabel del Malcampo (image 2), who commissioned these separate portraits from Murillo.

Gender perspective: The skull in his portrait (image 1) is represented with the flower his wife holds in the second image, with the same circular figure and position, and it is also echoed on the round metal brooch she wears.

Murillo, Bartolomé Esteban (1617-1682)
