"Josefa Bayeu (or Leocadia Weiss)" is a painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, often simply known as Goya. This artwork is believed to depict either Josefa Bayeu, Goya's wife, or Leocadia Weiss, who is speculated to have been Goya's mistress and companion in his later years. The painting is a testament to Goya's skill in portraiture, capturing the subject with a sense of intimacy and emotional depth that is characteristic of his later works.

The painting's attribution has been the subject of debate among art historians, with some suggesting that the sitter's features more closely resemble those of Leocadia Weiss, who lived with Goya after the death of his wife. Leocadia was significantly younger than Goya and cared for him until his death in 1828. Others argue that the painting is an earlier work, possibly from the 1790s, and thus more likely to represent his wife, Josefa, who died in 1812.

The ambiguity surrounding the identity of the sitter reflects the broader mysteries of Goya's private life and relationships. The painting itself is executed with the loose brushwork and subdued palette that mark Goya's later period, a time when he became increasingly disillusioned with the social and political turmoil of Spain. The portrait conveys a sense of the sitter's inner life, with a direct gaze that suggests a complex psychological presence.

"Josefa Bayeu (or Leocadia Weiss)" remains an important work within Goya's oeuvre, offering insight into his personal connections and the evolution of his artistic style. The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its capacity to evoke the enigmatic nature of its subject, making it a valuable piece for both its historical significance and its aesthetic qualities.
