Information about the artist:

Luis Ricardo Falero (May 23, 1851 – December 7, 1896) was a Spanish painter.
He specialized in female nudes and mythological, Orientalist, and fantastical scenes. His most common medium was oil on canvas. Falero’s paintings are primarily held in private collections in Europe and the United States, although a watercolor of the “Twin Stars” is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

In England, Falero sometimes referred to himself as the Duke of Labranzano, a fictional place name.

Marcel René von Herrfeldt (also a renowned artist) was his son, but he rejected his father’s name and adopted his mother’s name as his official name.
