Need help identifying a painting in an Spanish plantation house (possibly fictional)

Hilwo · April 29th, 2011, 12:38 AM

It is possible that the painting I'm looking to be identified is fictional. Here's the thing:

In the game Trespasser, which takes place on an island near Costa Rica, on old Spanish plantation house can be found. Inside the ruins, there is a painting on the wall, and I (being a sucker for trivia) was wondering if it was a known piece of work and if anyone could identify it. Other than the house being Spanish, and a 1900 century map of the fictional island can be found inside, there is not a lot to go on. The island is based on Cocos Island. The house is mentioned in this quote within the game:

"A failed coffee plantation of the 1860's. Fields were marked out by stone walls, and to the west, the ruins of the plantation house still stand."

This is the painting:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

The painting is not fictional...it is real.

The painting in your "Spanish Mansion" is by Spanish artist Diego Velazquez. The work is Philip III on Horseback painted in around 1634-35.

I believe the original painting resides at The Prado in Spain.
