About the piece
This grand colonial-era portrait depicts Doña Mariana Belsunse y Salasar, captured in 1780 by artists Pedro Díaz and José Joaquín Bermejo. The composition is defined by her magnificent striped silk gown and a sophisticated interior setting that opens onto a manicured garden, epitomizing the elegance of high society in late 18th-century Lima.
