Hailing from Basque Country, Ignacio Zuloaga was one of the best-known Spanish painters of his time. Even during his years as a student in Paris, he had already found success as a portraitist, which went on to become his artistic focus. In 1898, he discovered the Spanish city of Segovia and captured its inhabitants in numerous works. One of them was the folk poet, Don Miguel, presumably a local figure about whom nothing else is known. The man posed for the painter like a statue. With his cloak thrown on like a toga, the powerful hat, and the rolled-up manuscript, Zuloaga gave his model the bromidic appearance of a scholar.
