Portrait of Teresita Wearing Blue Bows is a 1872 oil by Benet Mercadé, a Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting shows a woman's head and shoulders, facing left. She has dark hair, pulled back, and a blue bow in it. Her eyes are cast downward. She wears a dark jacket and a white shirt with a blue bow at the collar. The background is dark and shadowy. The woman's face is softly lit, with shadows on the sides of her face. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Benet Mercadé.
Benet Mercadé i Fàbrega, in Spanish: Benito Mercadé y Fábregas (1821 – 10 December 1897) was a Catalan painter of portraits and historical scenes.
