A Portrait of a Woman/Retrato de mujer - work in progress

The project takes its name from a photograph of an unknown woman taken in 1921 by Leopoldo Savignac Battistini, a photographer based in San Sebastian, Zaragoza and Madrid from 1915 until his death in 1948.

This is a speculative project based around the possibility that Savignac was my grandfather, that this portrait bears a resemblance to my mother. As my mother's parents were unmarried there is little evidence, but a lot of potential for reimagining.
