About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Francesc Inglada, this oil portrait captures Pompeu Gener in a moment of scholarly reflection. Seated in a grand interior, the subject is surrounded by symbols of intellect and status, from the stack of books to the ornate blue and gold tablecloth and the animal skin rug at his feet.
