Description
Portrait of a Lady, Signed, Spanish School, 19th Century Pastel on paper. Dimensions: 70 x 58 cm and 90 x 69 cm. Half-bust portrait of a woman in an oval format, depicting her with a serene demeanor and direct gaze, emphasizing the elegance and dignity characteristic of 19th-century bourgeois portraiture. The face is rendered with great tonal softness, achieving delicate transitions in the flesh tones, while the voluminous hairstyle and flowing dress with gold details add refinement and visual richness. The use of pastel allows for a velvety texture and subtle luminosity, especially in the treatment of the skin and lace. Signed and dated by Pablo Manzano, the work reveals a solid academic background and a sensibility in keeping with 19th-century Spanish portraiture, where idealized realism and formal elegance held a central place.
