Carnivals Signed La Ita, Spanish School, 20th Century - Sanguine on paper. Dimensions: 64 x 47 cm; 100 x 87 cm. A carnival scene set in a busy street with several figures covered in tunics, hats, and festive elements moving among traditional-looking urban architecture. The composition is articulated through a succession of figures seen from behind, creating a sense of collective movement and ritual mystery. The central figure with open arms and a conical headdress stands out, an element that lends theatricality and symbolism to the whole. The drawing displays a vigorous and expressive technique based on overlapping strokes and a monochrome sanguine treatment that accentuates the evocative atmosphere of the scene. The work relates to the 20th-century Spanish graphic tradition interested in popular festivals and folkloric manifestations reinterpreted from an expressionist perspective. The composition possesses great narrative force and a remarkable gestural richness. 64 x 47 cm.
