"Portrait of the Duchess of Alba" is a renowned painting by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, a leading Spanish Romantic painter and printmaker of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The portrait, which dates from 1797, depicts María del Pilar Teresa Cayetana de Silva y Álvarez de Toledo, the 13th Duchess of Alba, who was one of the most famous and influential nobles of her time, and is speculated to have been Goya's muse for some period.

The painting is notable for its striking and confident depiction of the Duchess, who stands against a landscape backdrop. She is dressed in a black mourning dress with white lace accents, which is believed to signify her widowhood following the death of her husband, the Duke of Alba, in 1796. The Duchess's pose and attire reflect her social status and the fashions of the time, as well as a sense of individuality and strength of character. Her direct gaze and the assertive pointing gesture of her right hand, which points down to the sandy ground where the words "Solo Goya" (Only Goya) are inscribed, have been subjects of considerable interpretation.

The painting is celebrated for its technical mastery and the psychological depth it conveys. Goya's use of color, his loose and expressive brushwork, and the nuanced rendering of the Duchess's features all contribute to the portrait's impact. It is considered one of Goya's finest portraits and an important work in the history of Western art.

"Portrait of the Duchess of Alba" is held in the collection of the Hispanic Society of America in New York City. The work has been extensively studied and admired for its artistic qualities and for the insight it provides into the relationship between the artist and the aristocracy of his time, as well as into the personality and life of the Duchess herself. The portrait remains an enduring symbol of the Duchess's legacy and of Goya's skill as a portraitist.
