The National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires has highlighted an etching by María Cosway, ‘Lady Rubens y su hijo Albert’, as part of its ‘Artwork of the Day’ series. The work is currently exhibited on the museum’s ground floor, according to a post published by the institution on August 21, 2026.
Cosway is described by the museum as a prominent Florentine painter and printmaker. The featured work is an etching made after a drawing by Peter Paul Rubens, the Flemish artist whose drawing also belongs to the museum’s collection.
The pairing gives the museum’s presentation a direct collection-based connection: Cosway’s print is derived from a Rubens drawing, and both works are held by the National Museum of Fine Arts. The institution’s post identifies the Rubens drawing as part of its collection but does not provide further details about its title, date or display location.
The museum presented the Cosway work through its social-media channels rather than announcing a temporary exhibition or a separate public programme. No exhibition dates or event schedule were provided in the available source material.
The National Museum of Fine Arts, known in Spanish as the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, is located in Buenos Aires. ‘Lady Rubens y su hijo Albert’ remains on view on the museum’s ground floor, alongside the institution’s broader collection displays.
