In the nineteenth century, it began to innovate in the artistic techniques that so many years before had happened, although the oil is still the clear protagonist, the tempera was used less and less and other pigments, such as pastels and inks began to be tested by great artists as in the case of the work we have below. It is a portrait of a bishop with a child of great quality, dressed with the attributes of the time, with cassock and biretta, which is imposed by the Roman Pontiff in a special ceremony after his election.
