Label Text
José María Estrada was one of Mexico's great regional portrait painters of the mid-nineteenth century. Active in and around Guadalajara, Jalisco, he typically painted men, women, and children in a three-quarter view, either full-length or half-length. This half-length portrait of a woman in mourning is typical of Estrada's work with its neutral background and the inclusion of accessories that identified the sitter.
