Spanish Woman is a 1855 oil by Gustave Courbet, a Realism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman with long, dark hair and a blue dress with white trim. She sits on an orange chair, looking to her right. Her left arm rests on the chair, and her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand near her face. The woman's face is painted in detail, with a neutral expression. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman stand out. The artist used oil paint to create this piece. To learn more about the artist behind this painting, look up Gustave Courbet.
