About the piece
Painted in 1904 by Isidre Nonell, this evocative work titled 'Hardship' captures a moment of shared struggle or quiet intimacy. The artist uses a dense, textured application of oil paint and a somber palette of deep blues, ochres, and earthy reds to create a powerful sense of atmosphere and emotional weight typical of the early 20th-century Modernist movement in Catalonia.
