EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing by Juan Ravenet depicts a lady reclining on a sun lounger, basking in the warm sunlight of Panamá during the Malaspina Expedition (1789-1794). The expedition, led by Spanish explorers Alessandro Malaspina and José María Narváez, was commissioned by King Charles III of Spain to explore and map the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of North and South America, as well as the Philippines. The scene unfolds inside an elegant colonial interior, with the lady's flowing dress and intricate parasol reflecting the opulence of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Mexico. The year is not explicitly stated in the drawing, but based on Ravenet's biography, it is believed to have been created between 1789 and 1809. Ravenet, a skilled draftsman, captures the lady's serene expression and the delicate details of her attire, providing a glimpse into the lives of the Spanish settlers during the colonial era. The drawing is a testament to the rich history and social dynamics of the time, offering a window into the lives of the people who inhabited the Americas during the colonial period. This drawing is now part of the extensive collection of the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain, an autonomous community renowned for its historical and cultural significance. The museum's holdings provide valuable insights into the complex and intriguing history of the Americas, from its pre-Columbian past to the present day.
