La vistosa

Jacinto Octavio Picón

Antonia de Bañuelos Thorndike (also known as Marquesa de Alcedo; 1856–1926) was a Spanish painter born in Rome, who spent most of her life in Paris. She was the daughter of the Earl of Bañuelos and a disciple of Charles Joshua Chaplin. At the Paris Exposition of 1878, several portraits by this artist attracted attention, one of them being a portrait of herself. At the Exposition of 1880, she exhibited A Guitar Player. Her works The Little Fishers and Study of a laughing baby were included in the book Women Painters of the World.
