Artistic description:

Delicate watercolor by the Spanish painter Humberto Alonso (1926), in which the artist portrays a poultry scene dominated by a rooster, several hens, and a white bird in the foreground. The composition reflects the author’s interest in daily scenes and rural life, treated with an spontaneous gaze and notable painting sensibility.

The work stands out for the looseness of the brushwork and the mastery of watercolor technique, where transparencies and soft color transitions create a luminous and natural atmosphere. The earthy tones of the ground contrast with the reddish and white feathers of the birds, bringing dynamism and balance to the composition.

The treatment of the figures, carried out with great economy of means and a correct use of blotches and glazes, places the work within the Spanish genre painting tradition of the 20th century, evoking the serenity of countryside life and the beauty of the simplest scenes in nature.

Its careful presentation, with double mat and elegant golden frame, makes this watercolor an especially attractive piece for collectors of contemporary Spanish painting as well as lovers of rural and animal-themed subjects.
