About the piece

Created in 1914, this work by Juan Gris is a masterful example of Synthetic Cubism. The composition deconstructs a bottle of Anís del Mono, blending textured wood grain patterns with fragmented typography and geometric planes to redefine the traditional still life through a modern avant-garde lens.
