Young gypsy, watercolor on paper
Sánchez Sola was a renowned painter from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. He trained at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid and throughout his career he obtained various distinctions in different artistic competitions, among which the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts stand out, where he exhibited several times between 1894 and 1901 . He collaborated with Spanish Illustration as a designer. This watercolor responds well to the taste for more traditional art of the 1930s, of which he was a great defender. Since the 1920s he worked as a painting teacher in Granada. The Prado Museum has two works by this painter.
