This Joaquín Serra Quintana work takes us to the landscapes of Alt Empordà and Garrotxa, with the unmistakable silhouette of Puig de Bassegoda dominating the horizon. The mountain, with a pyramidal profile, is outlined in blueish and purplish tones against the sky and becomes the reference point of the entire composition.

In the foreground lies a wide meadow of green and yellowish grass, speckled with small stones and wildflowers. To the right rises a lush tree with a twisted trunk, while a row of dark shrubs and a house with a reddish roof, barely visible, separate the meadow from the distant mountains.

The sky, in grays and soft blues, conveys the diffused light of a cloudy day and envelops the landscape in a tranquil and silent atmosphere, very characteristic of Catalan landscape painting.

The artist’s technique combines loose and vibrant brushwork in the vegetation with a more fluid treatment in the sky and the mountains. The details allow the texture of the canvas to be appreciated and the delicacy with which the painter resolves distances. The signature appears in the lower right corner and on the back the manuscript title "El Puig de Bassegoda" alongside the artist’s signature.

The work is presented in an elegant gold frame with a black inner filet, which enhances the greens and blues of the painting. It is an ideal piece for collectors of Catalan painting and lovers of landscapes from the Girona counties.
