Antoni Llabrés (XX) - Paisaje con Scars

For sale: an excellent work by the Mallorcan painter Antoni Llabrés, dated 1948. It is a coastal landscape of high quality that captures the light of the Mediterranean in the island’s northern area (likely Pollença or Alcúdia).

The composition stands out for its post-impressionist technique, with confident brushstrokes that bring to life the reflections on the water and the traditional "escars" (stone piers) lying at the edge of the shore.
