Soledad De Rojas (1933-2020) - The Widow

- Oil on canvas.- In this painting by Soledad de Rojas, a metaphor is established between the widowed woman and the thistle. Shaped by life's difficulties and pain, this dark lady now stands dark and dry among the other flowers, with the confidence and poise of someone who owes nothing to anyone. The experience of the Spanish Civil War, which forced many women to become heads of households, raising their children without husbands or any support in a context of widespread repression and condemnation, shapes this heartfelt tribute to the widows of Spain.- Dimensions of the painting without frame: 55 x 65 cm / 65 x 75 cm with beautiful black lacquered frame.- Galerie Montbaron includes with all its lots a technical sheet drawn up by a qualified art historian.
