"Prince Philip Prospero, Son of Philip IV" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created in 1659. This portrait depicts Prince Philip Prospero (1657–1661), the youngest son of King Philip IV of Spain and his second wife, Mariana of Austria. The painting is one of the last works completed by Velázquez before his death in 1660 and is considered a significant piece within his royal portraiture.

The artwork captures the frail and sickly prince at the age of two, surrounded by symbolic elements that allude to his fragile health and the hopes for his future as a potential heir to the Spanish throne. The prince is dressed in lavish clothing, typical of Spanish Habsburg court attire, and holds a small sword and a bird, which may represent his royal status and the fleeting nature of life, respectively.

Velázquez's masterful technique is evident in the detailed rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics of the prince's garments to the softness of his hair. The use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Velázquez's style, brings a three-dimensional quality to the figure, emphasizing the child's delicate features and the solemnity of his expression.

"Prince Philip Prospero, Son of Philip IV" is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting is not only a poignant reminder of the mortality that plagued the Spanish royal family but also serves as a testament to Velázquez's ability to convey psychological depth and human vulnerability through portraiture. As one of the last royal portraits by Velázquez, it holds a special place in the history of Spanish art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
