| The Milkmaid of Bordeaux (Spanish: La lechera de Burdeos) is an oil on canvas painting completed between 1825–27, generally attributed to the Spanish artist Francisco Goya (1746–1828). Although the picture is held in great esteem and widely admired by critics and the public, doubt has been cast by art historians as to whether it is an actual Goya.[2] If authentic then it is likely a portrait of either Rosario Weiss, or more likely, her mother Leocadia Weiss—the artist's nurse during the last years of his life. Leocadia cared for Goya in exile in Bordeaux, where he settled to live among politically liberal friends. | |
