IDENTIFICACIÓN

1.1. Firma, fecha y localización

The work is signed and dated in the lower right corner. The signature appears to correspond to “J. Novés” or “J. Navés,” a reading that remains open as it cannot be confirmed with complete certainty.

On the reverse there is a handwritten note that seems to refer to La Moraleja, Madrid. This inscription reasonably suggests the place depicted, though it does not constitute documentary certification of authorship.

1.2. Paisaje de La Moraleja

The scene represents a landscape of water, lawn and trees, probably linked to the surroundings of La Moraleja golf course.

The vertical poplars, light-colored buildings and reflections in the pond place the composition in a bright, residential landscape typical of Madrid’s periphery at the end of the 20th century.

DESCRIPCIÓN ARTÍSTICA

2.1. Composición

The painting is organized around the large pond in the foreground, which reflects the trees and the massing of the buildings in the background.

The green lawn, small footbridges or land steps and the line of poplars create an open, serene and very balanced view.

2.2. Luz y color

The artist uses intense greens, blues, yellows and warm whites to build a luminous atmosphere.

The brushwork is direct and swift, with an intent to capture the impression of the place, the movement of the water and the clarity of a sunny day.

ESTILO, ESCUELA Y CONTEXTO

3.1. Impresionismo tardío

The work can be situated within late Impressionist landscape painting, with echoes of Post-Impressionism.

It does not aim at photographic detail, but at a general impression of light, color and space. The subject is simplified by patches of color and visible brushwork.

3.2. Pintura española de finales del siglo XX

The format, landscape theme and luminous use of color fit with late 20th-century Spanish figurative painting.

The work preserves a gentle and direct view of the landscape, distant from abstraction, yet open to a free and modern interpretation of nature.

3.3. Interés artístico y decorativo

Its greatest appeal lies in the clarity of the composition and the sense of calm conveyed by the water.

It is a small-format piece, easy to integrate, with a suggested location that adds interest and a particularly vivid palette.

ESTADO DE CONSERVACIÓN

4.1. Lienzo y superficie pictórica

The work is in good overall condition.

Small signs of aging, wear or minor irregularities typical of a painting from 1989 are visible, not affecting the overall visual reading.

GARANTÍA, TRANSPARENCIA Y ENVÍO

CONTEMPLACIÓN

6.1. Agua, luz y silencio

The painting gathers water, grass and trees in a serene, tranquil scene.
