An extremely rare Neoclassical portrait by the mixed-race Puerto Rican painter José Campeche has been purchased by the Brooklyn Museum. Campeche painted Doña María de los Dolores Gutiérrez del Mazo y Pérez in the island's capital of San Juan about 1796 to commemorate Doña María's marriage to Don Benito Pérez, a lieutenant in the Spanish royal navy.
