The Portrait of Lozana: The Lusty Andalusian Woman (Retrato de la Lozana andaluza), an important piece of 16th-century Spanish prose, was anonymously published by Francisco Delicado in Venice around the year 1530, but the only known copy was discovered in the middle of the 19th century in Vienna. Over the next hundred and fifty years this literary curiosity gradually became recognized as an integral part of the Spanish literary canon. Still, the modern reception of The Portrait of Lozana is characterized by the absence of a generally accepted consensus respecting its meaning and intention. There have been basically two main interpretations. The first one conceives it reductively as a realistic work with a moral purpose, whereas the other treats it more adequately in a symbolic and ludic manner.
