Portrait of a Lady Spanish School, late 18th century oil on canvas The painting depicts a half-length portrait of a lady elegantly dressed according to late 18th century fashion, with a dark green silk dress and pale bodice, embellished with a transparent organza collar. The figure holds a small bouquet of flowers in her right hand, while her left hand probably holds a fan. The elaborate hairstyle, adorned with blue ribbons and feathers, is reminiscent of the Spanish and French aristocratic fashion of the last quarter of the 18th century.The face, rendered with naturalness and delicate luminous nuances, stands out against the dark background according to a sober and direct compositional layout, which emphasises the psychological immediacy of the gaze. Due to the simplicity of the pose, the chromatic modulation of the flesh and the essentiality of the background, the work approaches the portrait language of the Spanish school between the late 18th and early 19th century, showing stylistic affinities with the ambit of Francisco de Goya, although maintaining a different, smoother and less vibrant hand than the master.
