Donna Carmen Painting

Donna Carmen painting captures the refined elegance of Andalusian culture, featuring a figure cloaked in the iconic manton de Manila shawl. This garment, originally embroidered in China and carried through Manila to Europe, is adorned with lush roses symbolizing beauty and strength. The fan held by the figure suggests secretive emotions and control, reflecting Spanish passion and poise within a composition rich in cultural symbolism and artistic detail.
