The Matador’s Wife

c. 1880

About the Item

Measures Painting 7.5 x 5.0625 inches Framed 13.5 x 11.5 inches In the manner of José Garcia Ramos (1852 - 1912) This is a beautifully framed 19th century Spanish School oil painting on wood panel of a woman in traditional attire, holding a decorated blue fan. The ornate gold frame adds great appeal to the artwork's antique feel. The woman’s expression is soft and contemplative, with delicate details in her clothing and accessories. The painting depicts a matador’s wife, a common theme in Spanish Romantic and Costumbrismo art. The woman's attire, including the lace mantilla, delicate floral details, and the decorated fan, aligns with traditional Spanish fashion of the era. The rich colors and intimate expression suggest the artist is possibly José García Ramos or other painters of the Andalusian school. This unsigned work is in excellent condition and retains an antique frame covered in 23k gold. José García Ramos (1852–1912) was a notable Spanish painter associated with the Andalusian school, known for his vibrant depictions of everyday Spanish life, often featuring scenes of flamenco dancers, bullfighters, and high-society women. His works capture the essence of 19th-century Spanish Romanticism and Costumbrismo, emphasizing rich colors, lively compositions, and expressive figures. If this painting is attributed to García Ramos, it would fit well within his characteristic style—particularly in its delicate portrayal of a woman in traditional Spanish attire, holding a fan, with a soft yet engaging expression. His works often carried a sense of movement and narrative, making them highly sought after.
