La Monstrua vestida
La Monstrua desnuda
These paintings by the Spanish baroque court painter Juan Carreño de Miranda (1616-1685) depict Doña Eugenia Martinez Vallejo at approximately 6 years of age (c. 1680), after she was brought to the court of Charles II of Spain and given the moniker “La Monstrua.” It is said that upon viewing these paintings in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, Dr. Andrea Prader immediately recognized features consistent with Prader-Willi syndrome. Although we may never know if this child did in fact have PWS, the paintings and contemporaneous 17th century descriptions of her condition strongly support this supposition. Indeed, these paintings are often regarded as the earliest illustrations of PWS. La Monstrua has continued to be an intriguing figure, as evidenced by an outdoor sculpture in Avilés created in 1997 by the Spanish artist Amado González Hevia “Favila” (b. 1954; www.amadofavila.com) based on these baroque portraits.
