DESCRIPTION
ANTONIO FABRÉS COSTA (Barcelona, 1854 - Rome, 1936).
"Lady with mantilla".
Pencil and chalk on paper.
Signed in the lower right corner.
Measurements: 29,5 x 19,5 cm; 45 x 35 cm (frame).
In this work, Antonio Fabrés y Costa approaches the feminine portrait from a fully draftsman sensibility, concentrating the attention in the face and in the treatment of the mantilla. Trained at the Escuela de la Lonja in Barcelona and a disciple of Mariano Fortuny, Antonio Fabrés developed a large part of his career in Rome, where he achieved notable recognition. He later resided in Mexico, where he directed the San Carlos Academy, exerting an important influence on the formation of artists of the following generation.
His work, characterized by great technical virtuosity and a marked naturalism, is preserved in institutions such as the Museo Nacional del Prado, the Museo Nacional de Arte de México and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, among others.
