ARTISTIC DESCRIPTION

2.1 Composition
The work depicts a traditional rural construction —possibly a threshing floor or agricultural complex— placed in an open landscape. The composition is organized into three clearly differentiated horizontal bands:
- Foreground dominated by a green mass worked with strong impasto.
- Architectural middle plane with buildings structured in ochres and earth tones.
- Sky intense in reddish hues that creates an expressive contrast.

2.2 Material treatment
Highlights the deliberate use of impasto, applied with a spatula and loaded brush, generating relief and visible texture. The painted surface presents a strong physical presence, especially in the vegetation area.
Chromatism combines dense greens, warm earth tones, and a dramatic sky in oxide red that adds plastic tension.

2.3 Plastic language
The work sits within an expressionist sensibility in which matter and color predominate over descriptive detail. The architecture is not built from meticulousness but from synthetic and structural planes.
The result is a piece with strong visual character and a marked decorative personality.

CONTEXT AND PROVENANCE

3.1 Artistic context
Isabel Núñez develops in this work a rural landscape interpreted from a contemporary viewpoint, where the pictorial matter takes center stage.
The use of spatula and the chromatic intensity bring it closer to Spanish materialist landscape currents of the second half of the 20th century.

3.2 Provenance
The work retains the original gallery label on the back, which provides prior commercial traceability.

3.3 Authenticity
Signed on the front and documented with a label on the back.
Description is made under criteria of formal analysis and professional transparency.
