About the piece

Painted in 1904 by the Catalan artist Isidre Nonell, this striking oil on cardboard study is representative of his celebrated series depicting the Roma community in Barcelona. The work is characterized by its bold, expressive brushwork and a somber, sophisticated palette of olive greens and charcoal blacks, capturing a moment of quiet, brooding dignity.
