Spanish Woman

Artist: Gustave Courbet
Artwork: Spanish Woman
Description: Painted in 1855, this portrait of anUnknown Spanish woman is a relatively small but powerful example of Courbet’s portraiture. The woman is seated in a chair, her head turned slightly to the left. Her expression is serious and introspective. She is wearing a blue dress with a white collar. Her dark hair is pulled back in a bun. The painting is a study in contrasts: the woman’s dark hair and eyes against the light blue of her dress, the smooth planes of her face against the rough texture of the chair.
