Antigua Casa Soteras Novedades. 1902.
De Cidón slyly composes the scene by calling direct attention to the two fashionable passersby—Señora Esteva y Portabella—with the text at right, which promotes new wares from Barcelona's Old House of Sundries. It's a fine example of de Cidón's creative abilities: a split-second moment distilled down to its essence, allowing us to admire the women's long dresses and oversized hats while the wash of negative space leaves plenty of breathing room for the text.
