"Manola (La Leocadia)" is a painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created during the latter part of his career. Goya, an influential figure in the transition from the Old Masters to modern art, is celebrated for his profound impact on the Romantic movement and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion and societal conditions.

This particular work, "Manola (La Leocadia)," is believed to have been painted between 1819 and 1823, during Goya's stay at the Quinta del Sordo, his country house near Madrid. The painting is part of Goya's series of "Black Paintings," a collection of 14 works that were originally painted as murals on the walls of his home. These paintings are characterized by their dark themes and somber tones, reflecting Goya's disillusionment with society and his own personal struggles during this period.

"Manola (La Leocadia)" depicts a woman, identified as Leocadia Weiss, who was Goya's maid and possibly his companion in his later years. She is shown in traditional Spanish attire, known as a "manola," which was typical of the lower-class women of Madrid. The painting captures her in a contemplative pose, with a melancholic expression that conveys a sense of introspection and sorrow. The use of dark, muted colors and the stark contrast between light and shadow are hallmarks of Goya's "Black Paintings," emphasizing the emotional depth and psychological intensity of the subject.

The "Black Paintings" were not intended for public display and were only discovered after Goya's death in 1828. They were eventually transferred to canvas and are now housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where they continue to be studied and admired for their innovative approach and profound impact on the art world. "Manola (La Leocadia)" remains a significant example of Goya's late work, illustrating his mastery of capturing the human condition and his departure from traditional artistic conventions.
