Esteban Márquez de Velasco (1652–1696) was a Spanish Baroque painter.
Márquez de Velasco was born in Puebla de Guzmán ( Huelva). He moved at an early age to Seville with his uncle Fernando Márquez, currently an unknown painter, with whom he worked until 1672. His works show a strong dependence on the known art of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, who was very popular at the time. He most likely worked in one of Murillo's workshops, which had a very abundant production of works.
The signed and dated works, from which it has been possible to set his style, however, are rare and late date:
