Catalogue number 98.03

A portrait by an unknown artist, oils on canvas from the late nineteenth century, framed, 30 cm. high by 24.5 cm. wide. 

We bought this little late nineteenth century portrait from Julie Collino (see 87.04) in 1998. By that time, she knew that we were spending more time in Menorca, and we were interested in any artworks with a Spanish connection. (We had already bought 95.18 from her). This rather severe-looking lady is dressed in black. The Spanish connection is provided by a traditional black lace, florally decorated mantilla, and as well as a substantial gold chain, she is wearing a large black brooch highlighted against her cream neckscarf.

Número de catálogo 98.03

Un retrato de autor desconocido, óleo sobre lienzo de finales del siglo XIX, enmarcado, 30 cm de alto por 24,5 cm de ancho.

Le compramos este pequeño retrato de finales del siglo XIX a Julie Collino (ver 87.04) en 1998. Ella sabía que en este período pasábamos más tiempo en Menorca y estábamos interesados en cualquier obra de arte con una conexión española. (Ya le habíamos comprado 95.18). Esta mujer de aspecto bastante severo está vestida de negro. La conexión española la proporciona el encaje negro tradicional, una mantilla decorada con flores, y además de una cadena de oro considerable, lleva un gran broche negro que resalta sobre su pañuelo crema.
