The 12th Marchioness of Villafranca Painting her Husband
Artist: Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (Spanish, 1746-1828)
Date: 1804
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain
Description
Portrait of María Tomasa Palafox (1780-1835), Marchioness of Villafranca, dressed in a white Empire-style gown, seated in an armchair upholstered in red damask silk, her feet resting on a cushion, painting a portrait of her husband, Francisco de Borja Álvarez de Toledo y Gonzaga , 11th Marquis of Villafranca . The Marchioness received an enlightened education from her mother, the Countess of Montijo . She was an academician of merit at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid , a cultured woman, a great lover of the arts, and an amateur painter. Her gaze is directed away from the composition, perhaps at the subject of her painting, her husband, who is depicted in the uniform of a line infantry officer. To her right, on a small table, rests her palette with paints, some brushes, and a small metal bowl. The Marquis also looks at his wife from his own portrait, in a game of glances that Goya consciously used, perhaps to reflect the great love that, according to contemporary sources, the couple professed for each other.
