The ''Portrait of Doña Antonia Zárate'' is the source for the
1810–11 portrait of her by Goya or his studio.
In 1900 it was put on show in Madrid and stated to be owned by Doña Adelaida Gil y Zárate. It was bought in London by
Sir Otto Beit, who exhibited it at
Russborough House and bequeathed it to his son
Sir Alfred Beit. It was stolen from Russborough House in 1974 and 1986. A year after the second robbery it was nominally donated by Beit to the
National Gallery of Ireland, though it was only recovered from the thieves in 1993.
