"The Parasol" (Spanish: "El quitasol") is a renowned painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created in the late 18th century. This masterpiece is a part of a series of tapestry cartoons designed for the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Bárbara in Madrid. The work was intended to be one of the decorative tapestries at the El Pardo Palace, specifically in the dining room of the Prince and Princess of Asturias, the future King Charles IV and Queen Maria Luisa of Parma.

Completed in 1777, "The Parasol" is an oil on linen painting that measures approximately 104 by 152 centimeters. It showcases Goya's early style, which is characterized by a light Rococo influence, evident in the painting's airy composition, pastel colors, and the depiction of leisurely aristocratic life. The scene captures a young woman of the court being shaded by a parasol held by a liveried servant, both figures set against a landscape that reflects the idyllic and bucolic tastes of the time.

The painting is notable for its departure from the more formal and rigid tapestry designs of the period, as Goya infuses the work with a sense of movement and a naturalistic approach to the figures and their surroundings. The woman's pose and the fluttering of her dress, along with the attentive stance of the servant, convey a moment of casual elegance and relaxation.

"The Parasol" is often discussed in the context of Goya's development as an artist, as it predates his later, more somber and critical works. The painting is a testament to Goya's ability to capture the zeitgeist of the Spanish Enlightenment and the changing tastes of the Spanish court. Today, "The Parasol" is held in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its charm and historical significance as a work that bridges the Rococo and the beginnings of Romanticism in Spanish art.
