Federico de Madrazo y Kuntz (Italian, 1815-1894)• María Josefa del Águila Ceballos, Marquesa de Espeja • 1852

The dress worn in the portrait above features what is called a "bertha" neckline. It is usually made of lace or another thin fabric. It is generally flat and round, covering the low neckline of a dress, and accentuating a woman's shoulders. A bertha neckline was worn off the shoulders, often trimmed with deep lace (3″ – 6″). The style was most frequently worn by upper- and middle-class women during the Victorian era; a woman from the more common classes would seldom have shown that much flesh.
