Description
In Josefa de Castilla Portugal, Francisco de Goya places a seated woman in a pale dress against a nearly black background. Long golden hair falls over her shoulders and along her arms, giving the figure a soft, flowing outline.
Her hands meet around a closed fan at the center of the composition. Warm orange upholstery surrounds the lower part of the dress, while gentle light defines her face and the fabric’s folds. The quiet pose and limited setting focus attention on the sitter, with the painted inscription retained at the lower right.
