"Prince Baltasar Carlos as a Hunter" is an iconic oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created between 1635 and 1636. This portrait is one of the most celebrated depictions of Prince Baltasar Carlos, the son of King Philip IV of Spain, showcasing him as a young huntsman. Velázquez, who served as the leading court painter to the Spanish Crown, was renowned for his skill in portraiture, and this work stands as a testament to his mastery of the genre.

The painting portrays the young prince at the age of about six or seven, dressed in a hunting attire, with a natural and relaxed pose that was innovative for royal portraiture of the time. He is depicted standing in a landscape, holding a hunting rifle, with a subdued backdrop that draws attention to the figure. The prince's attire, including a wide-brimmed hat and a buff leather jerkin, reflects the fashion of Spanish aristocracy during the period.

Measuring 191 cm by 102 cm, the full-length portrait is noted for its exquisite detail, from the texture of the clothing to the delicate rendering of the prince's features. Velázquez's use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the personality and status of his subject, contribute to the painting's enduring reputation as a masterpiece of Spanish Baroque art.

"Prince Baltasar Carlos as a Hunter" is not only a representation of royal power and prestige but also serves as a poignant reminder of the prince's untimely death at the age of 16. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it remains a highlight of the museum's extensive collection of Velázquez's works. Its historical and artistic significance continues to be the subject of scholarly study and public admiration.
