Woman with a Guitar is a 1870 oil by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, a Realism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, holding a guitar. She is dressed in a long, flowing dress with a pink shawl draped over her shoulders. The room's decor is visible behind her, featuring a table with a red tablecloth and a mirror hanging on the wall. The woman's gaze is directed downward, and her posture suggests a contemplative mood. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of warmth and intimacy in the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, who was known for his portraits of women in elegant settings.
Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta (24 July 1841 – 15 September 1920) was a Spanish painter from the Madrazo family of artists who worked in the Realistic style, although his later work shows signs of Rococo and Japanese influence.
