Circulo de ramon casas i carbó, Attributed to - Retrato de júlia peraire

Exceptional oil on panel attributed to the master of Catalan Modernism, Ramon Casas i Carbó. The work portrays in a middle plane his evergreen muse, lover and later wife, Júlia Peraire, adopting one of the most coveted and famous iconographies in the artist's catalog: the genre portrait with mantilla. Júlia is depicted with a slightly tilted gaze and her characteristic pale complexion with rosy cheeks, gently resting her chin on her hand in a pose that denotes intimacy and serenity. She wears a superb white lace mantilla, rendered with Casas's unmistakable loose, thick, and free brushwork, displaying absolute command in capturing the transparencies, lights, and nuances of traditional fabric. This type of composition bears a close aesthetic relation to variants registered in major institutional collections, such as the well-known Boceto de Julia con mantilla blanca from the Carmen Thyssen Collection. Analysis of the reverse and Important Provenance: The back of the work constitutes a document of exceptional value for collectors and experts, certifying its path through circles of nineteenth-century avant-garde. It preserves an old French inscription where the header reads
