Self Portrait

Maria del Rosario Weiss Zorrilla's Self-portrait exemplifies her mastery in portraiture, showcasing her keen ability to capture personality and emotion. An accomplished painter and engraver, she was the goddaughter of Francisco de Goya and spent her final years with him, creating works that often reflect his influence and the Romanticism style that emphasized individual emotion. Her skill extended to lithography, allowing her to produce detailed and expressive images. Though initially mistaken for Goya, her drawings and portraits, once attributed to the master, are now recognized as her own significant contributions to Spanish art.
