Joven Filipina, 1882 by Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo
About the artwork
Painted in Madrid in 1882 during Hidalgo's formative years at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, this work presents a three-quarter rear view of a young Filipino woman draped in a green-striped cloth against a dark background. The composition demonstrates his early command of academic figure painting, particularly in the rendering of skin tone, hair, and the play of light across the back. Works of this type from his Madrid period reflect the academic portrait tradition while drawing on Filipino subject matter.
