1. Title: A Regal Figure in Exile: Don Juan, Count of Barcelona (1913-1993) in His Estoril Office This evocative black-and-white portrait captures Don Juan, Count of Barcelona (1913-1993), in his study at his exile residence in Estoril, Portugal. Born as Juan de Borbón y Battenberg, he was the father of Spain's former monarch, King Juan Carlos I. Don Juan's life was marked by political turmoil and exile. He was the claimant to the Spanish throne following the abdication of his grandfather, Alfonso XIII, in 1931. After the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Don Juan went into exile in Portugal, where he lived for several decades. In this intimate image, Don Juan is seen seated at his desk, surrounded by books and documents. His serious expression and attentive posture suggest a man deeply engaged in his work. The square format and high contrast of the photograph add to its sense of intimacy and historical significance. Don Juan's time in Estoril was a period of transition for both him and Spain. He maintained close ties with Spanish political figures and played a role in the democratic transition that led to the restoration of the monarchy in 1975. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who, despite his tumultuous history, remained a significant figure in Spanish and European royalty. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on Spanish and European history, royalty, and portraits. The image's historical significance and high-quality resolution make it an excellent choice for libraries, museums, and researchers.
