About the piece
Painted in 1844 by Raymond Monvoisin, this formal portrait depicts María del Carmen Dolores Mackenna y Vicuña. The work showcases the artist's mastery in rendering the rich texture of her black velvet gown and the delicate lace of her headpiece, set against a classic atmospheric backdrop typical of high-society mid-century portraiture.
