"Philip IV in Army Dress (The Portrait of Fraga)" is a notable 17th-century portrait by the Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the leading artists of the Spanish Golden Age. Painted in 1644, this work is also commonly referred to as "The Portrait of Fraga," as it was executed in the town of Fraga, located in the northeastern region of Spain. The painting depicts Philip IV, King of Spain, portrayed as a military commander during the Catalan Revolt.

The portrait is distinguished by Velázquez's masterful rendering of the king's regal bearing and the intricate details of his military attire. Philip IV is shown in three-quarter length, wearing a buff coat and a broad, stiff collar, which was typical of the military fashion of the period. His right hand rests on the hilt of his sword, symbolizing his military leadership, while his left hand holds a commander's baton. The composition conveys both the authority of the monarch and the tensions of the time, reflecting the political and military challenges facing Spain.

Velázquez's skillful use of chiaroscuro and his nuanced approach to color contribute to the psychological depth and realism of the portrait. The artist's ability to capture the texture of fabrics and metals, as well as the somber yet dignified expression of the king, exemplifies his talent for portraiture. "Philip IV in Army Dress" is considered one of Velázquez's important royal portraits, contributing to the historical understanding of the Habsburg monarchy and the visual culture of the Spanish court.

The painting is held in high esteem for its historical significance and artistic merit, and it remains a subject of study for art historians and scholars of the Baroque period. It is currently housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to attract visitors and researchers interested in the works of Velázquez and the portraiture of European royalty.
