The protagonist of this painting is a young and attractive manola, reminiscent of the famous actress nicknamed the tirana portrayed by goya. Slightly reclining in a richly carved armchair, she wears a striking blue bullfighter jacket embroidered in gold. It is an image full of eroticism and sensuality, manifested through her languid gaze, the gesture of covering her wide neckline with the lace of her mantilla and the way she holds a showy feather fan with her little finger, which the painter also uses in other paintings.
