About the piece

Created in 1887 by Alexandre de Riquer, a leading figure of Catalan Modernisme, this exquisite composition features a nymph with intricately patterned butterfly wings. The figure is depicted in a moment of quiet music-making among reeds, rendered with elegant linework and a striking gilded backdrop that evokes the decorative richness of the Art Nouveau era.
