671 - Watercolor on paper. A portrait in the costumbrista style. The composition focuses on the bust of a young woman with a melancholic gaze turned slightly to her left, whose facial features are defined with soft, delicate strokes. The woman wears a light-colored blouse and has long, wavy brown hair falling loosely over her shoulders, topped by a distinctive deep-red scarf or shawl tied at the back of her head. The background of the portrait is rendered with a blurred wash of blue and grayish tones that creates a subtle contrast and enhances the warmth of the skin tones and the vivid color of the headdress. The technique stands out for its delicacy and transparency in the application of color, capturing an intimate and psychological expression very characteristic of 19th-century studies of regional or literary figures.
