MARAVILLOSO!
ReplyDeleteFrancisca de la Gándara y Carmona was the only Vicereine of New Spain (now the American Southwest, Texas, Mexico, Central America and the Philippines) born in the colonies. She was born in San Luis Potosí, in central México.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! I understandably assumed she was Spanish since the painter certainly was. But I just Googled her and, yes, she was born in Mexico - Vanegas, San Luis Potosí, as you said - and died in Valencia. So glad to have this information; I'll update the caption.
DeleteDamas de una dignidad tranquila y elegante como se expresa en estos retratos. -Rj/IE
