La Fuensanta is a portrait painting by Spanish artist Julio Romero de Torres depicting María Teresa López González, one of Torres' models. Gonzalez is depicted with her arms resting on a copper cauldron. The painting was made in the autumn of 1929, when Torres completed another two artworks, La Chiquita Piconera and Bodegas Cruz Conde.^[1] "Fuensanta" is a Spanish girl’s name that means "holy fountain."

Born in Argentina, González moved with her family to Torres' native town of Córdoba after World War I.^[2] After she first sat for Torres at the age of fourteen, González became one of his favourite models whose likeness is most closely associated to Torres.^[2] According to Sotheby's, the work has been "proclaimed as a quintessential rendition of Andalucian beauty".^[2] It was depicted for 25 years on the 100 peseta banknote.

The provenance of La Fuensanta has been largely unknown since 1930, when it was exhibited at the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville. In 1994, the painting was bought by an Argentine citizen. In November 2007, La Fuensanta was sold by Sotheby's to a private buyer.^[3] The Spanish Ministry of Culture tried to purchase the painting from Sotheby's, but the auction price of €1,173,400 euros was too high.^[4]
