Delaunay “Portuguese Woman” Silk Blend Shawl
Wrap yourself in this luxurious shawl, which can be worn as a scarf in chilly weather or as a wrap to dress up your outfit. This silky-soft shawl has a delicate eyelash fringe, giving it a touch of elegance – truly a wearable work of art.
The elegant design features “Portuguese Woman,” painted in 1914 by Robert Delaunay and now in the permanent collection of the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid. The artist created this boldly abstract piece by mixing paint with hot wax to achieve the most intense color saturation possible.

History
Met Costumes
All costumes and jewelry seen at the Met are unique works of art. The company puts on an average of 25 operas every year, with as many as 200 individual costumes featured in each of them, and works with some of world’s greatest costume designers to create unique pieces for an average of six or seven new productions per season. Everything is handmade in the Met’s own workshops, and many costumes and jewelry items from past productions, all the way back to the 1880s, are preserved in the Met Archives.
