Naara created two images of Villarroel (standing and on horseback) wearing a three-cornered hat with red feathers and pale makeup—common characteristics for commanders of the period—as well as a dress uniform and equestrian boots. The appearance of his apparel—a blue dress uniform with red cuffs, the insignia of his regiment—was based on the existing documentation. The image of Villarroel on horseback depicts him during the last counterstrike that he led on September 11th, 1714 at Pla de'n Llull, during which he suffered an injury to his leg. Every detail of his clothing and equipment is based on historically verifiable information. The illustration was made with mixed media (watercolors and water-soluble pencils), and Photoshop was used to add the coat of arms. The images were scanned and uploaded to Wikipedia Commons. They are now used on Wikipedia in several languages to illustrate Villarroel's biography.
