Oil On Panel, Spanish/gypsy Dance Scene, Signed “cortez”

A vibrant oil painting depicting a Spanish or Gypsy dance scene, typical of the Andalusian imagination. At the center, a dancer in a yellow dress, arms raised, embodies the rhythm and intensity of flamenco, surrounded by women in brightly colored traditional costumes. Guitarists and musicians structure the composition and accentuate the festive and popular atmosphere of the scene. A warm palette, strong contrasts, and a lively brushstroke emphasize movement and ambiance. The whole evokes the Hispanic folk scenes popular at the beginning of the 20th century. The work is signed “Cortez” in the lower left corner, attributable to a painter of genre scenes inspired by Spain. Presented in a carved and gilded wooden frame, in harmony with the subject matter.
