Portrait of a Woman with a Shawl, a Hat, and a Parasol 1878

Francesc Masriera's 1878 oil painting, "Portrait of a Woman with a Shawl, a Hat, and a Parasol," showcases a stylishly dressed woman in a detailed and elegant fashion. The woman stands against a softly textured background, holding a closed parasol and gazing off to the side, her face partially obscured by a large, feathered hat. The light in the painting casts a warm glow on the woman’s dress, accentuating the elaborate detailing of the shawl and the delicate lace of her attire. This portrait captures the essence of fashion and elegance during the late 19th century.
