Description
A rare and harmonious set of four large-scale mid-century oil paintings, each signed “Almuñecar,” presenting tender, stylized portraits with distinct poetic charm. United by a consistent palette of soft turquoise, sienna, and blush tones, this collection evokes the introspective beauty of modernist portraiture, reminiscent of Modigliani and Picasso’s quieter works.
The set includes:
1 Lady in White Hat H 95- W 82 cm
2 Woman in Headscarf H 95-W 81.5 3 cm
3 Mother and Child H 96.5-W 81 cm
4 Young Violinist H 94.5-W 81 cm
Each subject conveys emotion through simplified forms and expressive outlines: a boy immersed in music, a serene mother, a pensive woman, and an elegant figure with a sweeping hat. Framed in their original mid-century wooden frames with varying tones and characterful patina, the works form a cohesive decorative statement—ideal for a feature wall, stylish interiors, or collectors of post-war European art.
This quartet represents a unique opportunity to acquire a matched series from a compelling, though still mysterious, Spanish artist of the mid-20th century.
