Painting, Spanish Art, Goya.
HASTA LA MUERTE
Painted in Bordeaux in 1827
Seated on a stool, an old lady at her toilet before a mirror takes a grotesque hair comb formed by large bows of pink ribbon. Her deformed nose and protruding chin are most prominent in her devastated face. Garbed in a white petticoat molding her emaciated forms. Behind her a young woman, whose full face and plump arms contrast with that of the old lady, maliciously stoops behind her back. Two young men are standing in front of the "Coquette"; one raises his eyes in the attitude of lover, the other places his fingers over his mouth as though to send her a kiss; on the toilet table, in front and in back of the mirror, bottles and accessories.
