Portrait of Senyora Anita

Executed in oil, the artist employs fine brushwork to model the woman's features and the folds of her clothing, achieving a realistic surface quality. The contrast between the deep background and the illuminated figure demonstrates a mastery of chiaroscuro typical of Mercadé’s portraiture.

The painting was produced by Benet Mercadé, a Catalan artist known for portraiture and historical subjects during the late 19th century. After its creation, the work entered the holdings of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, where it remains part of the institution’s permanent collection.
