At 52 years of age with an infant at her breast! Happy Mother's Day, Magdalena Ventura.

Just found out that the babe is symbolic. Magdalena Ventura's children were well weaned by the time she sat (stood😉) for this portrait.
But Magdalena Ventura was a woman.

Ya sé que te fascina la manera de #Ribera de preservar la dignidad de Magdalena Ventura. Asómate, como @ClaraPenalver a @lmitve y acéptala. Vas a #EmocionArte al apreciar su universo de texturas, los planos de luz y color, la maestría de #ElEspañoleto para sobrepasar lo anterior.
