Label TextIn Rosa Rolanda’s self-portrait, she depicts herself with a self-assured, subtly ambiguous expression, affirmed by her indirect gaze, elongated neck, and exaggerated wide eyes. The inclusion of two white flowers in her hair and the strange placement of a butterfly reinforces her connection to nature.

En su autorretrato, Rosa Rolanda se ha caracterizado con una expresión confiada y sutilmente ambigua, que se afirma por una mirada indirecta, un cuello alargado y ojos exageradamente grandes. La inclusión de dos flores blancas en su cabello y la extraña ubicación de una mariposa refuerza su conexión con la naturaleza.
