拍品專文

‘Here Goya depicts the wind to great advantage, creating an elegant composition of flowing drapery...Three women endure the storm, their wind-whipped shawls and skirts echoed by the limbs of distant bending trees. Goya lavishes attention on the foremost figure, who stands with her back towards us, the curves of her hips and thighs revealed through carefully burnished aquatint tone. What makes these women endure such weather? A contemporary interpretation gives us the answer: ‘Business goes bad when the wind, and not money, lifts the skirts of these good girls'.
