This lively oil on board depicts a bustling rural scene in the Catalan countryside. The composition is framed by tall, leafy trees in the foreground, leading the viewer’s eye along a sun-drenched dirt path toward a group of traditional houses and a distant, flat-topped mountain range. The presence of small figures—a woman walking and children playing near a stream—adds a charming, narrative quality to the landscape, capturing a moment of everyday village life.
The artist employs a vibrant, Impressionistic style, using quick, gestural brushstrokes to create a sense of light and movement. The palette is dominated by lush greens and warm earthy tones, with soft, billowy clouds filling the sky to suggest a warm, clear day. The work is signed with an expressive, red impasto signature in the lower-right corner. Housed in a classic gilded frame with ornate detailing, the painting is in excellent condition and serves as a beautiful example of mid-20th-century regional landscape painting.
