Francisco de Goya, (artist), Spanish, 1746 - 1828, The Marquesa de Pontejos, c. 1786, oil on canvas, overall: x 127 cm (82 13/16 x 50 in.), framed: x cm (91 1/4 x 57 5/8 in.), Trees, grass, and shrubbery, simplified almost to abstraction, set off the fragile, wasp–waisted figure of María Ana de Pontejos y Sandoval, the Marquesa de Pontejos. Splendidly attired, she typifies those ladies of the Spanish aristocracy who affected the 'shepherdess' style of Marie Antoinette, so popular in pre–revolutionary France
