EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "Women of Soria" - A Portrait of Serene Beauty from Early Twentieth-Century Spain This evocative portrait sketch, titled "Women of Soria," captures the essence of a woman from the Spanish region of Soria in the early 1900s. The subject's thin, enigmatic smile and relaxed expression exude an air of quiet strength and tranquility. The artist, Gustavo de Maeztu, masterfully employs the use of color to bring depth and dimension to the image, with warm hues and subtle shading that highlight the woman's features. This portrait was published in the January 1920 issue of a popular American magazine, Volume 11, though the exact title of the publication remains unknown. The image is part of the extensive collection of historical prints held by Mary Evans Picture Library, known as the "March of the Women" collection. Gustavo de Maeztu (1879-1943) was a Spanish writer, philosopher, and politician, who was also a renowned painter and illustrator. His art often depicted the daily life and people of Spain, and his works were widely published in various magazines and journals both in Spain and abroad. The "Women of Soria" portrait is a testament to the artistic talent and cultural significance of Gustavo de Maeztu's work. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of Spanish women during a time of great social and political change. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of art to capture the human spirit and preserve history.
