About the piece
Painted in 1775 by Anton Raphael Mengs, this portrait depicts Mariana de Silva-Bazán y Sarmiento with refined grace. The subject is draped in a luminous pink shawl over a delicate white gown, holding a small lapdog and a ring, set against a dark, atmospheric background of foliage. The work demonstrates Mengs' masterful ability to render translucent fabrics and soft, luminous flesh tones.
