The major subalbum is about Isabel II who steadily gained weight through her life. She dressed magnificnetly, but sometimes overdid it as can be seen in her sub-album.
Spain has a number of portraitists not well appreciated in the Anglophone world, particularly Vicente López y Portaña and Federico Madrazo y Kunz who are well-represented here. Good López y Portaña sites can be found here and here. Good Federico Madrazo y Kunz sites can be found here and here. A good Spanish art site, alas with watermarks, is the Oronoz site.
