RE: La Dama Elegante

For a woman in the new world it must have been very difficult to disengage but Maria de Toledo was able to assert her taste for good clothing and the accessories she wanted to wear and she was able to get her request accepted, she had a calm but firm character for it and I think that sculpture shows what she was like. Interesting character from history you have brought up with the details you mention.
The square is beautiful for an afternoon stroll and enjoy sitting there contemplating art, history and feeling the passage of time through the place. Thank you very much for these nice pictures! Hug!

Thank you so much @topcomment and @incublus!!🤗
It sounds like she was a lady of strong character, calm and firm as you mentioned, who enjoyed the finer things in life. After her husband's death, she returned to Spain to fight for the rights of her children. She's an impressive character in colonial history, and this square is a wonderful homage to her.
Thank you for introducing us to this great character!
