2. Compositional and iconographic description

The work depicts a peaceful, everyday scene: three female figures gathered around a small garden table, accompanied by a cat in the foreground.

The composition is built around a triangular axis that provides stability, while the background is rendered with loose and vertical brushstrokes that suggest vegetation without depicting it literally.

The palette, dominated by greens, blues, and ochres, enhances an intimate and domestic atmosphere. The figures, with idealized faces and restrained gestures, convey a sense of introspective calm, moving away from anecdote to focus on the emotion of the shared moment.

3. Style, School, and Comparative Valuation

Enrique Pinet Pàmies is situated within the orbit of Spanish figurative post-impressionism, with clear affinities towards French painting by Bonnard and Vuillard, as well as echoes of Joaquim Sunyer and certain approaches of the École de Paris.

The pastose, free, and vibrant brushstroke demonstrates a mature mastery of color as a structural element.

A representative work of his most accomplished production, it combines modernity and lyricism, making it especially attractive within the Spanish figurative painting market of the 20th century.

Its technical quality, generous format, and intimate theme position it as a solid and marketable piece within the context of authors of its generation.
