Signed in the upper right corner and on the back.
Aurelio García Lesmes was a Spanish painter who began his training in Valladolid and, thanks to a scholarship from the Provincial Council, continued his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. It was in Madrid that he gained recognition among the general public at the National Fine Arts Exhibitions (where he won a third-place medal in 1917, a second-place medal in 1922, and a first-place medal in 1926). In the capital, he met Valle-Inclán, Ricardo Baroja, Darío de Regoyos, and other artists, and alternated his stays there with long periods in Valladolid, where he painted his famous canvases depicting the Castilian countryside. Over time, he established himself as one of the most prestigious Spanish landscape painters of his era and set up his studio in Valladolid. After the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile in Mexico. His works are on display at renowned institutions such as the Reina Sofía National Art Center (Madrid) and the Patio Herreriano Museum (Valladolid).,
