Portrait of Doña Josefa Yzquierdo Yañes

81 × 61 cm / 31.9 × 24 inches

description

The portrait reflects local artistic traits, such as a flat background and emphasis on social status, shown through jewelry and decoration. The inclusion of a death date indicates it was adapted posthumously, turning it into a legacy piece. This practice was common among New Spain’s elites to preserve family memory through art.
