scuola spagnola

This elegant and refined work belongs to the tradition of 18th-century aristocratic portraiture. The painting portrays a young noblewoman; her serene and composed expression, combined with the sumptuous clothing and floral details in her hair and dress, suggests her high social standing. The softness of the tones and the delicate play of light and shadow express both pleasant intimacy and great dignity. The refined treatment of light and the softness of the colors, especially the warm tones of gold and pink, create a scene that celebrates the beauty and harmony typical of Rococo painting, which was very fashionable in European courts during this period. The contrast between the luminous face and the more subdued background highlights the figure of the lady, giving her an almost ethereal quality. The work represents not only a moment of celebrating the beauty of the subject but also a testimony to the taste and visual culture of Spain in the 18th century. Width cm. 65 Height cm. 82
