About the piece
Painted in 1889 by Modest Texidor Torres, this portrait depicts the fellow painter Pepita Teixidor Torres. The work is a masterclass in the rendering of textures, from the light-catching sheen of the pink silk bodice to the intricate transparency of the lace ruff. The sitter's composed expression and the atmospheric dark background create a timeless, dignified presence.
