About the piece
Painted in 1872 by Catalan artist Benet Mercadé, this portrait of Senyora Anita is a masterclass in color and contrast. The vibrant red of the subject's garment commands the viewer's attention, while the meticulously rendered details of her headscarf and jewelry offer a sense of refined elegance.
