This print captures a significant moment in Spanish history - the opening of the Cortes in the Senate on June 24,1920. The detail focuses on Alfonso XIII, the King of Spain from 1886 to 1941, as he warmly greets Antonio Maura y Montaner, a prominent politician and former Prime Minister of Spain (1853-1925). Painted by Asterio Mananos Martinez in oil on canvas, this artwork beautifully portrays the grandeur and elegance of the Palacio del Senado in Madrid.

Their interaction demonstrates politeness and respect between two influential figures. This artwork serves as a testament to their roles in shaping Spanish politics at that time. Overall, this stunning piece is an excellent representation of early 20th-century artistry while providing valuable insights into Spanish history. It reminds us of the power dynamics within parliament and how leaders like Alfonso XIII played crucial roles in shaping their nations' destinies through diplomacy and governance.
