_Francisco Goya_ (Spanish: 1746-1828). _See 1471._
"The lady was evidently a plump and rosy voluptuous woman, having
large and liquid eyes with much dilated pupils, as well as coarse
and full lips, and wearing her loose brown tresses about her eyes
and ears, while a black mantilla fell from a lofty comb upon her
shoulders. It is obvious--and this accounts for the lady's flushed
carnations and glittering pupils, not frequent elements in Goya's
work--that she prepared herself for sitting, not only by blacking her
eyelids with kohl, but using belladonna to dilate her eyes, and rouge
for her cheeks" (_Athenæum_, July 4, 1896). This portrait, says Sir
Edward Poynter, "is perhaps as good an example as could be found of
the brilliancy of execution and vivid portrayal of character which
characterise Goya at his best."
