The bond between the two had begun in the Parisian capital shortly before Larreta served as Minister Plenipotentiary in France between 1910 and 1916. The success of the novel La gloria de Don Ramiro earned the Argentine  writer the admiration of many of the intellectuals and personalities from the cultural world in the Paris of those years. This is one of the reasons why Zuloaga painted the portrait of the writer and started a friendship that lasted until the end of his days. Made in 1912, the date of the painting coincides with one of the painter’s most successful moments and with a taste for the so-called “españolada” in the artistic and cultural sphere of the Gallic country. Our work deals with the analysis of this painting and the particular circumstances surrounding its realization and the changes the work had before its arrival in Buenos Aires. La relación que Enrique Larreta mantuvo con Ignacio Zuloaga fue clave en las decisiones tomadas por el escritor al momento de formar su colección de arte; el pintor no solo hizo su retrato, sino que asumió el rol de intermediario en la compra de objetos artísticos. El vínculo entre ambos había comenzado en la capital parisina poco antes de que Larreta se desempeñara con el cargo de Ministro Plenipotenciario en Francia entre 1910 y 1916. El éxito de la novela La gloria de Don Ramiro le valió al argentino la admiración de muchos de los intelectuales y personajes del mundo cultural en el París de aquellos años. Esta es una de las razones por la cual Zuloaga pintó el retrato del escritor iniciando una amistad que se prolongó hasta el final de sus días. Realizado en 1912, la fecha del cuadro coincide con uno de los momentos de mayor éxito del pintor y con el gusto por la llamada «españolada» en el ámbito artístico y cultural del país galo. Nuestro trabajo aborda el análisis de esta pintura y las particulares circunstancias que rodearon a su realización y a los cambios que tuvo la obra antes de su llegada a Buenos Aires.
