The simplicity of the composition, described as “velazqueña” due to its similarity to some works by the painter diego velázquez, and the deep knowledge that the artist had of the character of the character, contribute to giving a total naturalness and elegance to the entire model, partly idealized, due to the verticality and narrowness of the format used widely among french portrait painters of the last third of the 19th century.
