In this portrait titled Woman of Córdoba, Julio Romero de Torres uses María Teresa López as a model, the one who posed in Córdoba for the definitive version of La Chiquita Piconera and for other portraits.

The work is a magnificent example of the series of popular portraits of “girls” or “good little girls.” The painter focuses on the expression on the model’s face, facing forward, looking to the left, in opposition to the orientation of her body, turned to the right. Against a dark background, the contrasting treatment of light on the white blouse and the young woman’s face stands out.
