Clarification

Who is the "unknown woman" and why does she have her face turned away from the painter? (She must be someone of importance if she is standing closer to the king than his son and sister.) And what is the black mark on the face of Maria Josefa, the king's sister? Some sort of tumor or mole? Drutt (talk) 00:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page offers an explanation: the anonymous lady is Ferdinand's future wife, whose face was to be painted in later. Drutt (talk) 01:03, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Charles IV of Spain and His Family is a portrait of the royal family of Spain painted by Francisco Goya in 1800 and 1801. King Charles IV, his wife Maria Luisa of Parma, and his children and relatives are dressed in the height of contemporary fashion, lavishly adorned with jewelry and the sashes of the order of Charles III. The artist does not attempt to flatter the family; instead the group portrait is unflinchingly realist, both in detail and tone. The artist, seated at his easel, is visible in the background. The painting is in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

Painting credit: Francisco Goya
