Josefa de Castilla Portugal y van Asbrock de Garcini (1775–about 1850)

In this pendant to the portrait of her husband, Ignacio Garcini y Queralt, Doña Garcini is evidently pregnant, which may account for the informality of her hair and dress. Her Rubensian features and coloring, invariably noted by critics, have only recently been explained: Josefa's mother, whose name was Van Asbrock, was of Flemish descent.
