The portrait depicts Isabel Lobo Velasco de Porcel, who was born at <a href="/wiki/Ronda" title="Ronda">Ronda</a> around 1780 and was the second wife of Antonio Porcel. Isabel's husband was 25 years older than she; they met when she was 20 years old. Antonio Porcel was a liberal and an associate of <a href="/wiki/Manuel_Godoy" title="Manuel Godoy">Manuel Godoy, Prince of Peace</a>, who was a friend of <a href="/wiki/Gaspar_Melchor_de_Jovellanos" title="Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos">Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos</a>, who in turn brought him in contact with Goya, who lived nearby; the painting is said to have been a gift from the artist in return for hospitality. The half-length portrait depicts a young woman dressed in typical Spanish attire, a white shirt and a black <a href="/wiki/Mantilla" title="Mantilla">mantilla</a>. In spite of her "<i><a href="/wiki/Majo" title="Majo">maja</a></i>" attire, the richness of the textiles and her ladylike appearance give the picture an aristocratic elegance; at this time, wealthy Spanish "people of fashion" often wore the styles of lower class urban dandies and their female equivalents, as seen in Goya's famous <a href="/wiki/La_maja_vestida" title="La maja vestida">clothed version of <i>La maja</i></a>.

The castle is a monument to the <a href="/wiki/Swedish_Empire" title="Swedish Empire">Swedish Age of Greatness</a>, a period in the middle of the 17th century when Sweden expanded to become one of the major powers in Europe. Wrangel's death in 1676 meant that the castle was never truly completed. The castle became a state museum in the 1970s and displays collections of paintings, furniture, textiles and tableware, as well as books and weapons. </p> <p style="text-align:left;"><small>Photograph credit: <a href="/wiki/User:Pudelek" title="User:Pudelek">Marcin Szala</a></small></p> <div style="text-align:right;"> Recently featured: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist inline nowraplinks"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2019-08-09" title="Template:POTD/2019-08-09"><i>Béatrice et Bénédict</i></a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2019-08-08" title="Template:POTD/2019-08-08">Cuban green woodpecker</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2019-08-07" title="Template:POTD/2019-08-07"><i>Farmhouse in Provence</i></a></li></ul> </div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist noprint nowraplinks" style="text-align:right;"> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_of_the_day/Archive" title="Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Archive">Archive</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures" title="Wikipedia:Featured pictures">More featured pictures</a></b></li></ul> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist plainlinks metadata noprint nowraplinks" style="margin:0.5em 0;"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2019-08-10" title="Template:POTD/2019-08-10">view</a></li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:POTD/2019-08-10&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Template talk:POTD/2019-08-10 (page does not exist)">talk</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2019-08-10&action=edit">edit</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2019-08-10&action=history">history</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2019-08-10&action=watch">watch</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/File:Skokloster_castle_(by_Pudelek)_3.JPG" title="File:Skokloster castle (by Pudelek) 3.JPG">file page</a></li></ul> </div> <hr/> <p><span class="anchor nowrap" id="11"><b>August 11</b></span></p> <table role="presentation" style="margin:0 3px 3px; width:100%; box-sizing:border-box; text-align:left; background-color:transparent; border-collapse:collapse;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="padding:0 0.9em 0 0; width:320px; text-align:center;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:William_Bouguereau_-_The_Elder_Sister_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="The Elder Sister"><img alt="The Elder Sister" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/William_Bouguereau_-_The_Elder_Sister_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/320px-William_Bouguereau_-_The_Elder_Sister_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" decoding="async" width="320" height="432" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/William_Bouguereau_-_The_Elder_Sister_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/480px-William_Bouguereau_-_The_Elder_Sister_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/William_Bouguereau_-_The_Elder_Sister_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/640px-William_Bouguereau_-_The_Elder_Sister_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6238" data-file-height="8422"/></a></span> </td> <td style="padding:0 6px 0 0;"> <p><i><b><a href="/wiki/The_Elder_Sister" title="The Elder Sister">The Elder Sister</a></b></i> is an oil-on-canvas painting by French <a href="/wiki/Academic_art" title="Academic art">academic</a> artist <a href="/wiki/William-Adolphe_Bouguereau" title="William-Adolphe Bouguereau">William-Adolphe Bouguereau</a>, produced in 1869.

Bouguereau used great care and attention in drawing the children's features and the positioning of their bodies, giving them an idyllic look.

Buckingham commissioned portraits of himself as "a medium for the cultivation of his personal image". In this painting, he is depicted with a jacket encrusted with pearls that also hang in ropes across it; it may also contain a reference to his diplomatic coup that year in negotiating the marriage of the future Charles I. At his entry to the French court, he is recorded as wearing a grey velvet suit from which the loosely threaded pearls dropped to the ground as he advanced to make his bow to the queen, to general wonder.
