Compelling Portraits by Anton Raphael Mengs (1728–1779)

Anton Raphaël Mengs, Portrait of Isabel Parreño y Arce, Marquesa de Llano. 1771 - 1772, oil on canvas. Rijksmuseum.
Buttons, lace, crinkled fabric or soft lively eyes! Mengs was a master of all those little details that bring a portrait to life.
