DTitel (etw. angestaubt, Rücken mit gr. Defekten, Gelenk geplatzt). Mit hs. Widmung der Autorin im Vorsatz. - Titelbl. auf unbeschnittenem handgeschöpften Büttenpapier. - Pereiras illustrierte Interpretation ihres eigenen Traums, die ein Konzept der Diskrepanz zwischen Struktur und Optik in der Weltanschauung der Renaissance und des 20. Jahrhunderts nahelegt. - "Born in 1902, Pereira immersed herself in the bohemian world of Greenwich Village in the mid-1920s and embraced the European art avant-garde-Bauhaus, Cubism, and Constructivism. In the 1930s, her paintings began to gain recognition. At first, she signed her work I. Rice Pereira, because, she said, of the discrimination that beset women in the art world. With an exhibit of her work at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1953, she became one of the first women to have a retrospective at a major New York museum. .. Pereira's works now hang at the Hirschhorn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and other major art museums across the country."

Sunset in the Park, Francisco Torrescassana (Barcelona, 1845-ibidem, 1918), 19th century Catalan school Signed and dated 1875, canvas measurements: 46 x 35 cm, framed measurements: 52 x 40 cm. Spanish painter, disciple of Ramón Martí Alsina. Works by Torrescassana are preserved, among others, in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Víctor Balaguer Library Museum, or the Museum of Art of Gerona, and the collection of Banco Sabadell, with a painting dedicated to the vintage in which the traditional realism that characterized much of his painting, closely linked to the teachings received from Martí Alsina, opens up to new studies of light. As for portraits, also abundant in his artistic production, the University of Barcelona keeps the portrait of Pablo González Huebra in the rectoral gallery, as well as in the dining room of Antoni Gaudí's Casa Vicens.
