A young Cecilio Pla is photographed in his studio with Rosario Guerrero, a prominent dancer known as ‘beautiful Guerrero’ or ‘la Guerrerito’. The painter looks at the viewer while the young woman appears pensive.
On the easel, on an embroidered cloth, a portrait of Wagner can be seen [information provided by Pedro J. Martínez Plaza]. Cecilio Pla was a devout Wagnerian who painted other portraits of the musician, as well as representative paintings such as The Walkyria. Other paintings hang on the walls of the studio, such as A Consultation, as well as a considerable number of sketches and photographs.
