About the piece
Painted in 1874 by Benet Mercadé, this realistic portrait captures Senyora Anita with a sense of dignity and quiet introspection. The artist employs a rich, dark background to emphasize the warm skin tones and the delicate texture of her white ruffled collar, characteristic of late 19th-century European realism.
