Interesting oil on panel painted on both sides, with two independent landscapes of clear impressionist sensibility. On the front there is a view of mountains and plain; on the back, a coastal landscape with pines and sea.

1.2. Escuela y cronología
The work coherently situates within the Spanish school of the early 20th century, in a context of landscape painting rooted in impressionist and post-impressionist influences.

1.3. Singularidad
Its main appeal lies in the presence of two original compositions on the same support, a feature especially valued by collectors for its rarity and workshop authenticity.

2. DESCRIPCIÓN ARTÍSTICA

2.1. Anverso
The front side presents an open, serene composition, with green plains and a mountain range in violet and lilac tones. The simplification of the landscape and the chromatic harmony confer a strong visual modernity.

The back shows a bright coastal scene with stylized pines and a blue-green sea, resolved with quick and fresh brushwork, clearly Mediterranean in spirit.

It is a piece with true studio or plein-air flavor, where visual impression and immediacy of the motif prevail over academic finish.
