About the piece
Painted around 1786, this masterful full-length portrait by Francisco Goya captures the Marquesa de Pontejos in a lush, park-like setting. She wears an elaborate silver-grey gown adorned with pink ribbons and fresh flowers, a wide-brimmed hat atop her powdered hair, and is accompanied by a small pug wearing bells—a delightful detail that adds a touch of warmth to the formal composition.
