"Portrait of Manuel Godoy Álvarez de Faria (1767-1851)" is a notable painting by the Spanish artist Agustín Esteve y Marqués, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Esteve, a disciple of the renowned Francisco Goya, is recognized for his portraiture, which often depicted the Spanish aristocracy and bourgeoisie with a refined and detailed technique. The portrait in question captures Manuel Godoy, a prominent and influential figure in Spanish politics during the reign of King Charles IV. Godoy, known for his rapid ascent to power and his titles, including Prince of the Peace (Príncipe de la Paz), served as the Prime Minister of Spain and held various other significant positions.

Esteve's portrait is a testament to the painter's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters. The work is characterized by its attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Godoy's attire and decorations, which reflect his status and the fashions of the time. The painting also provides insight into the social and political context of Spain during a period marked by turmoil and change, with Godoy being a controversial figure due to his political maneuvers and relationship with the royal family.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is likely to have been produced during the height of Esteve's career, when he was a sought-after portraitist in Madrid. The "Portrait of Manuel Godoy Álvarez de Faria" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering a glimpse into the life of one of Spain's most enigmatic statesmen through the lens of a master portraitist of the Spanish school. The painting is an important work within Esteve's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of portraiture as a means of documenting and interpreting the social elite of the time.
