About the Item

Title: Woman with Pitcher Artist: Antoni Valls Bordoy (1909–1994) Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 35 x 27 cm (13.8 x 10.6 in) Support: Canvas with Casa Teixidor (Barcelona) stamp Signature: Signed lower right: Valls Bordoy, in red Period: Mid-20th century Condition: Good Provenance: Private collection DESCRIPTION An intimate, genre scene depicting a seated woman holding a clay pitcher, her posture serene and her expression introspective. The figure emerges from a loosely painted, vibrant background that suggests a vegetal or domestic environment without descending into anecdotal detail. The white dress, the glimmers on the pitcher, and the contained atmosphere reinforce the poetic charge of the scene. The textured, lively brushstroke, applied with decisiveness, reveals an artist of both technical skill and sensitivity. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Antoni Valls Bordoy (Palma de Mallorca, 1909 – 1994) was a figurative painter connected to both the Mallorcan pictorial tradition and the Catalan artistic milieu. He trained at the School of Arts and Crafts of Palma and later in Barcelona, where he developed part of his career. His work is characterized by a direct, post-impressionist language and themes centered on female figures, Mediterranean landscapes, and intimate interiors. His impasto technique and warm palette are distinctive traits of his style. Though he maintained a discreet profile, his works can be found in private collections in Mallorca and Catalonia. RELATED ARTISTS Isidre Nonell – for the introspective approach to the female figure. Joaquim Mir – for chromatic vibration and expressive backgrounds. Francesc Gimeno – for the authenticity of popular scenes. Anglada Camarasa – in his figurative and textured works. Eliseu Meifrèn – for chromatic sensitivity and Mediterranean light.

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Frame size 70x61 cm. José Muntané Balaguer (1889 - 1963) Immerse yourself in the spiritual beauty of "Woman Praying," a sublime work by the acclaimed Spanish artist José Muntané Balaguer. This oil on canvas captures the serenity and introspection of faith, showcasing a masterful use of light and shadow reminiscent of great masters such as Joaquín Sorolla, Ignacio Zuloaga, and even the emotional restraint of Diego Velázquez in his most intimate portraits. The painting depicts the purity of a devotional moment, where the female figure seems to transcend the canvas, inviting the viewer to reflect on spirituality and human connection. The meticulous attention to detail and subtlety in expressions place Muntané Balaguer in the tradition of artists who immortalized scenes of everyday life with unique sensitivity, much like Julio Romero de Torres...
