Lady with a Guitar, c1873. A woman enjoys a moment of quiet reflection, resting her guitar on her thigh. Her brilliantly embroidered bolero - a short jacket associated with bullfighting - is lined with red satin, and her pink dress traces the outline of her body. The monogram in the upper right is formed of the letters “L” and “V,” but the woman’s identity is unknown.
