École Espagnole (c.1960) - María la Guapa (D'après Joaquín Sorolla) - XL

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- Beneath the weight of the still carnation crowning her elegance, María la Guapa holds the world with a gaze that tastes of freshly cut jasmine and a summer afternoon in the square. Sorolla’s brush seems steeped in the fragrance of the white flowers adorning her hair, while the fringes of her shawl fall across her shoulders like a cascade of silk awaiting the first call to dance. In the air, suspended between the folds of her dress and the glow of her skin, vibrates the echo of distant fandango falsetas, coaxed from a guitar somewhere in the shadows of a courtyard. Everything about her is a visual score of fragrance and rhythm; an eternal moment in which the scent of the South and the pride of a lineage merge on the canvas, leaving the viewer to sense, behind her restrained smile, the trace of a copla fading into the shadows.

- Image dimensions without frame: 58 x 120 cm / 76 x 137 cm with an exclusive made-to-measure frame.
