An unpublished work by Velázquez comes to light

Source Summary

Exceptional discovery in the legacy of Diego de Velázquez: an unpublished portrait of the Count-Duke of Olivares in armor has appeared in a private collection. The find was made by the director of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Salvador Salort-Pons, as he himself explains in the July issue of the magazine ARS Magazine . This would be the first portrait Velázquez made when he arrived in Madrid from Seville. Salort-Pons plans to exhibit it at his museum in the fall. The article does not specify the location of the painting, which would reach astronomical prices in the art market, nor whether it is cataloged.
