Description
Español: Obra cumbre de la retratística romántica española y el más atractivo de los retratos femeninos de su autor, es, sin duda, la obra más emblemática de las colecciones del siglo XIX del Museo del Prado. Madrazo alcanza en esta efigie la conjunción perfecta de todos los recursos plásticos alcanzados en su producción madura, alcanzando en esta ocasión su refinamiento más esmerado, al servicio de una de las mujeres más hermosas y encantadoras del Madrid isabelino. Interpreta el retrato con un marcado aire francés, muy adecuado a la elegancia de la modelo, aprendido durante su formación en París junto a Ingres. La pose de la dama consigue transmitir una sensualidad bien ajena a la tradición española. La pose coqueta de la modelo es, sin embrago, estudiadamente informal, lo que sirve al artista para conceder a la obra un grácil movimiento. La iluminación empleada por Madrazo hace que la blancura de las carnaciones femeninas destaquen contra la acusada oscuridad del fondo, a la vez que acentúa la sensación cromática. La sutileza de ciertos gestos de la modelo, como la delicadeza con que sostiene el abanico, el contacto casi imperceptible de sus dedos con el óvalo facial o la dulcísima sonrisa, replicada por su seductora mirada, suponen el culmen de los aciertos de este soberbio retrato (Texto extractado de Díez, J. L. en: El siglo XIX en el Prado, Museo Nacional del Prado, 2007, pp. 172-175).
English: As a masterpiece of Spanish romantic portraits and the most attractive female portraits of the artist, it is undoubtedly the most emblematic work of the collections of the 19th century the Prado. Madrazo reached in this work the pinnacle of his mature production, this time with its painstaking refinement, serving one of the most beautiful and charming women of Madrid during the reign of Isabell II of Spain (1833-1868). The portrait has been created with a distinctly French air, well suited to the elegance of the model, that Madrazo learned during his training in Paris with Ingres. The pose of the lady conveys inspiration outside of the Spanish tradition. The coquettish pose of the model is nevertheless studiously casual, which serves to give the work a graceful movement. The lighting used by Madrazo makes the whiteness of female skin tones stand out against the dark background, while accentuating the color. The subtlety of certain gestures of the model, as the delicacy of holding the fan, the almost imperceptible touch of her fingers with her oval face or the sweet smile, echoed by her seductive look, all serves to show the magnificence of this portrait.
