About the piece

Executed in the style of Francisco de Goya, this 1850 portrait titled 'The Madrileña' depicts a young woman adorned with a delicate black lace mantilla and a soft pink rose. The work showcases masterful use of chiaroscuro, with her luminous face emerging from a rich, dark background, characteristic of the Romantic era's Spanish influence.
