María Rosa Arsalaguet I Comas (1922-2003) - Girl With Tambourine

Oil on canvas. Hand-signed on the front and back. A delightful evocation of music embodied by a strikingly beautiful young woman who, leaning charmingly on a branch, gazes at us with a look that is both haughty and proud, like a Venetian Judith, holding the instrument on the rounded vase at her hip. María Rosa Arsalaguet Comas stands out as one of the most evocative and delicate voices in 20th-century Catalan painting. An artist capable of transmuting the everyday into an aesthetic experience of profound lyricism and sensitivity, she was trained in the most demanding artistic circles of Barcelona. Her work testifies to a technical mastery in the service of pure emotion. Arsalaguet did not simply paint; She captured the very essence of her subjects, establishing herself as an exceptional portraitist, capable of imbuing her figures – especially women and children – with psychological introspection and an almost mystical serenity. - Image dimensions without frame: 72 x 90 cm / 82 x 100 cm with an elegant gilded wooden frame.
