Concepción Remisa de Moret was the
wife of Segismundo Moret y
Quintana, a famous
nineteenth-century Spanish writer,
politician and landowner whose
portrait —also by Madrazo— is in
the Prado Museum collection as well
(P4466).
The purity of lines and delicate
rendering of this work reveal the
influence that the French painter,
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres
(1780-1867), had on Federico de
Madrazo from the very start.
On 12 June 1924, Concepción
Remisa's daughter, Teresa Moret,
donated this work to the Museum of
Modern Art. From there, it entered
the Prado Museum.
