Description

The composition is full of movement and tenderness with Nogués’ first-time use of greys in the background. They were obtained using a tool that did not go into the plate too deeply and throw up burrs. We are adding a print from Palau Antiguitats gallery signed in pencil and dated 1934 (December 2022).
