"Spanish Mona Lisa of the 19th century"

"La Condesa de Vilches" or The Countess of Vilches

My sister visited recently The Prado Museum and she fell in love with this oil from Federico de Madrazo... So expressive and beautiful it take us to the 19th century romanticism, isn't it?

From: http://www.historyandarts.com/fichas/obras/667.htm

"The model for this spectacular image was Doña Amalia del Llano y Dotrés, Countess of Vilches (1821-74), an important writer on the cultural scene in 19th century Madrid who participated in and organised literary gatherings that were attended by intellectuals of the time. A personal friend of Madrazo, their cultured and relaxed relationship is apparent in a portrait that combines the aristocracy of the model with the informality of her pose."
