"The Duchess of Alba Arranging Her Hair" is a notable painting by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, a leading Spanish Romantic painter and printmaker of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This artwork is part of a series of portraits that Goya created of María del Pilar Teresa Cayetana de Silva Álvarez de Toledo, the 13th Duchess of Alba, who was one of the most prominent and influential figures of her time in Spain. The painting is believed to have been created around the late 1790s, a period that marks a significant phase in Goya's artistic career, characterized by a deeper exploration of personal and psychological themes.

The portrait depicts the Duchess in an intimate moment, arranging her hair, which showcases Goya's skill in capturing the natural grace and elegance of his sitter, as well as his ability to convey a sense of immediacy and candidness. Unlike the formal and often rigid portraiture of the era, this work is noted for its informal composition and the relaxed demeanor of the Duchess, which suggests a close relationship between the artist and his subject. The painting is remarkable for its detailed rendering of textures, particularly the intricate lace and fabrics of the Duchess's attire, as well as the softness of her hair, which Goya has depicted with delicate brushstrokes.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for the insights it provides into the social and cultural milieu of late 18th-century Spain. The Duchess of Alba was a muse and possibly a close companion to Goya, and her portraits are among the most personal and vibrant of his works. "The Duchess of Alba Arranging Her Hair" stands as a testament to Goya's mastery of portraiture, his innovative approach to depicting his subjects, and his contribution to the development of modern painting.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its exhibitions are rare, making it one of the lesser-seen works of Goya's oeuvre. However, it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and for the light it sheds on the relationship between the artist and one of the most fascinating figures of Spanish aristocracy.
