maria teresa de borbon y vallabriga


this charming little child painted by goya in 1783 (which would make her 4 years old) was also goya's lifelong friend. sadly, this countess was married off by a selfish relative into an unhappy marriage. she just may have lived her life on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
