Summary

Español: Retrato imaginario del rey Pedro I de Castilla (1334-1369), que fue hijo de Alfonso XI de Castilla y de la reina María de Portugal. Este monarca, que fue apodado el Cruel por sus enemigos y el Justiciero por sus partidarios, gobernó Castilla desde 1350 hasta su asesinato en 1369 tras su derrota en la batalla de Montiel, y estuvo siempre vinculado a la ciudad de Sevilla y a su Real Alcázar. Y el pintor Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer se inspiró para realizar este retrato en las crónicas coetáneas al monarca que lo describen como blanco de piel, de rostro majestuoso y con el pelo rubio y los ojos azules.
