Mariquiña de Valle-Inclán
Ca. 1928. Oil on canvas. Not on displayThis depiction of the fourth daughter of the famous Galician writer Ramón María del Valle-Inclán is a good example of the small-format portraits of close friends that so notably differ from Echevarría’s celebrated portrait gallery of representatives of the Generation of 98. The Gerstenmaier Collection still includes the portrait of Kukuru, Mariquiña’s dog, a canvas of the same size as this one.
