Evangelina Mascardi: Lute Suite in E Major (Bach)

Hermenegildo Anglada-Camarasa (Spanish, 1872-1959), *Gitana con niño (Gypsy and Child)*, signed H. Anglada-Camarasa lower right, oil on canvas, 70 by 55cm., 27½ by 21¾in., Image Source: **Sotheby’s**

“Painted in 1925, the present work is an outstanding example of Anglada-Camarasa’s departure from his early depictions of gitanas as the colourfully exotic denizens of the gaudy music halls and cafés-concerts of Paris. From 1907 Anglada-Camarasa began to paint his gitanas in a softer, more vulnerable light, accompanied by small children. Blossoming, vibrant flowers encircle the figures of mother and child, with a new luminous palette highlighting this allegory of motherhood.”
