Description

Andalusian School; c. 1890. "Gypsy". Oil on canvas. Signed Rosales in the lower left corner. It has a period frame with faults. Measurements: 69 x 40 cm; 80 x 50 cm (frame). We see in this work a scene of costumbrista approach, starring a young gypsy girl. It is a composition that combines the portrait with the costumbrista genre, so in vogue in the Spanish painting of the XIX century and beginnings of the XX century. The woman has been represented in bust format, in a casual and natural attitude, with her hair slightly tousled, gathered with a rose in the lower area. The clarity of the blue sky contrasts with the brightness of the color with which the artist has configured the model, highlighting the features of the young woman, whose face hints at a soft smile. Costumbrismo painting is a genre in which popular types and attitudes, behaviors, values and habits common to a specific group of the population, region or class are described by means of a satirical, nostalgic or narrative description of the environments, customs, dress, parties and entertainments, traditions, trades and representative types of a society. The idea of costumbrismo arose from an attempt to understand reality, or more precisely, reality understood in a particular way, from a specific point of view. It has a period frame with faults.
