Isaac Levitan - "In the Vicinity of the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery"

The painting "Lady in a Fur Cloak" is a work of art that has generated much debate over its authorship over the years. Initially, it was attributed to the renowned painter El Greco, but recent analyses have confirmed that it was painted by the Spanish artist Alonso Sánchez Coello.

Details of the work:

Title: "Lady in a Fur Cloak"

Artist: Alonso Sanchez Coello (c. 1531-1588)

Data: 1580-1588

Technique: Oil on canvas

Dimensions: 79.8 x 65.7 cm

Location: Pollok House, Glasgow

History and Authorship:

The painting was exhibited at the Louvre in 1838, and was attributed to El Greco at the time. In 1853, it was acquired by Sir William Stirling Maxwell, who donated it to the City of Glasgow in 1967, along with Pollok House.

The authorship of "Lady in a Fur Cloak" has been debated for over a century. Detailed technical analyses, including X-rays and comparison with other works, have revealed that the painting shares stylistic and material characteristics with the works of Alonso Sánchez Coello.

The figure portrayed:

The identity of the woman depicted in the painting is unknown, but her elegance and clothing suggest that she belonged to nobility or royalty. Some scholars have speculated that she could be El Greco's companion Jeronima or even an idealized representation of the Virgin Mary. However, the lack of concrete evidence keeps her identity a mystery.

Painting features:

"Lady in a Fur Cloak" stands out for its realistic representation of the female figure, with meticulous details in her clothing, jewelry and facial expression. The use of warm, dark colors, together with the somber background, gives the work a mysterious and elegant air.

The painting is considered one of the most important of the late 16th century in Europe, and is an example of Alonso Sánchez Coello's ability to portray Spanish nobility with precision and refinement.
