About the piece

Painted in 1873, this masterwork by Giovanni Boldini captures a moment of leisure in a Spanish interior. The composition features a woman in a black lace mantilla playing a guitar, accompanied by a matador seated on a table, all rendered with the artist's signature spirited brushwork and vibrant palette.
