Portrait of Portuguese duchess praised by Sor Juana up for auction in Uruguay 2 minutes read
By Concepcion M. Moreno
Montevideo, May 24 (EFE).- A miniature portrait painting of a Portuguese noblewoman who won the praises of 17th-century luminary Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz is set to go up for auction this week in Uruguay.
The intimate piece (used at that time only to commemorate the promise of marriage or as a family keepsake) measuring 9 centimeters by 7.4 cm shows a young Maria de Guadalupe of Lencastre, sixth Duchess of Aveiro (1630-1715).
The portrait shows a face more similar to the one seen at the Monastery of Santa Maria de Guadalupe in the Spanish province of Caceres than the portraits of her on display at Madrid’s Prado Museum or Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
