A portrait of Aline Masson,
Madrazo's favorite model and the
esthetic ideal of femininity in
late-nineteenth-century bourgeois
Paris.
The white mantilla over a red
embroidered shawl and the flowers
in her hair link this work to the
nineteenth-century French taste for
Spanish things, a detail Madrazo
emphasized in many of his
works.
This painting entered the Prado
Museum as part of the Ramón Errazu
legacy accepted by Royal Order of
13 December 1904.
