Amalia de Llano, Countess of Vilches

Glimpse from a time when music was music and women were ladies. Here is Countess of Vilches, Amalia de Llano portrayed by painter Federico de Madrazo in 1853. Adored by Madrid's society she was not only a writer, but also a common figure at all the theater and literary events of the time.

A truly romantic nature, which is nothing surprising for a Taurus sign (she was born on 29th of April, 1822).

I really like her face expression in this painting. It's like a testimony for long walks in the garden, good music, genuine daydreaming and literature pleasures.
