GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de: The Parasol

🖼 The Parasol, 1776-78
Oil on canvas
104 × 152 cm
Madrid, Spain

Dappled sunlight filters through stretched fabric as a woman reclines, attended by a figure holding the parasol overhead. Goya captures aristocratic leisure with luminous brushwork, celebrating 18th-century Spanish court fashion and the artist's mastery of light and intimate domestic scenes.
