Apologies for missing this story at the end of last year. The Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias in Oviedo, Spain, have announced their acquisition of six pastels by Lorenzo Tiepolo (Venice, 1736 – Somosagua, Madrid, 1776). Lorenzo, the son of Giambattista Tiepolo, began his activity as a pastel portraitist in Spain and completed several likenesses of the children of the monarch. The works acquired are a set of pictures depicting 'portraits of popular Spanish types.'
The pastels were acquired through legacies left by Mrs. María Dolores Fuente González, widow of the Hon. Mr. Eugenio Rodríguez Pascual, Marquis of Valdecilla y Pelayo and a private donor.
