Pair of small boards that reflect two characteristic aspects of the Catalan painting of the end of century: on the one hand, a scene of figures in a natural environment, solved with loose and vibrant brushstroke, where the color and the matter acquire expressive protagonism; on the other hand, a coastal landscape of more synthetic composition, in which the light and the atmosphere construct the image by means of wide chromatic masses.
