Spanish Woman 1876

"Spanish Woman" is a portrait painting created in 1876 by French artist Carolus-Duran. The work features a young woman in a black dress with a pink lace trim. She is positioned against a deep red background, with her head turned in profile. The painting captures the sitter's elegant style and the artist's signature use of loose brushstrokes and rich color. Duran was known for his portraits of fashionable Parisian society, and his works often captured the elegance and sophistication of his subjects. This painting is a striking example of Duran's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his sitters.
