Conception Ruiz Frias

Conception Ruiz Frias is a 1910 painting by Julio Romero de Torres. It's housed in the Museo Julio Romero de Torres. The painting measures 1.12 meters in width and 1.66 meters in height. The artwork depicts a woman, Conception Ruiz Frias, standing in a three-quarter view. She is wearing a dark, floor-length gown with a burgundy-colored overgarment or shawl. The dress has a high neckline and what appears to be some kind of ornate detailing near the bodice. She wears a necklace and her dark hair is styled up. The background is a muted landscape with a suggestion of hills or distant buildings under a dusky sky. The overall style is characteristic of Romero de Torres' work, with a focus on the figure and a somewhat subdued, atmospheric background.
