About the piece
This 1911 work by Ricard Urgell i Carreras offers a modern, high-angle perspective on a figure caught in a gust of wind. The artist uses a muted, tonal palette of cream and grey to emphasize the atmospheric conditions, while the subject's posture and the abandoned hat convey a sense of sudden motion and natural force.
