In 1926, while in Paris at the art gallery of Joseph Duveen, she fell in love with the painting by Francisco Goya, Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga, commonly known as the "Red Boy".
Her father then purchased it for $275,000.
The painting was hung prominently in her living room.
Her interior decorator, Billy Baldwin, described her attachment to it as if it were a living being.
Her father bequeathed the painting to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but it was allowed to be shown periodically in Miller's apartment until she died in 1979.
