Did you know?
The subject of this portrait was the wife of Juan Agustín Ceán Bermúdez, a prominent Spanish art historian and Goya's close friend. The painting serves as a testament to the intimate social circle Goya maintained among the intellectual elite of his time. Her distinctive large, dark hat and the careful rendering of her jewelry reflect both the fashion of late 18th-century Madrid and Goya's developing mastery of characterization.
