Don Bernabe de Ochoa de Chinchetru y Fernandez de Zuñiga, Juan Carreño de Miranda was given his appointment as "Painter to the Palace" in 1669 (Carreño, 3). He painted numerous portraits such as this one showing Don Bernabe de Ochoa de Chinchetru. "The subject of this portrait is seen at the age of thirty-five clad in black doublet and hose. A black cape is suspended from his shoulders. He wears a white golilla and cuffs, gray stockings and black shoes. His hair, eyes, and mustache are dark brown. A silver-hilted sword is attached to his black leather belt. In his right hand he holds a black hat and brown gloves; in his left, a small piece of white paper. Across the gray background is draped a pink curtain. Upon a table, which is covered with a cloth of the same colour [sic.], is placed a silver penholder containing two white quill pens, and a silver inkwell. At the lower right is a gray cartouche lettered in black and at the upper right a coat of arms. The name of the cavalier appears in the 'Indice de pruebas de los caballeros que han vestido el habito de Santiago' published by Vicente Vignau and F.R. de Uhagon in Madrid in 1901." (Carreño, 17-18)
