"Manola's dress".
Graphite and wax on paper.
Signed José in the lower left area.
Measurements: 27 x 21 cm; 43.5 x 38 cm (frame).
We see in this work a scene of costumbrista approach, starring a young Manola. The costumbrista painting is a genre in which popular types and attitudes, behaviors, values and habits common to a concrete group of the population, region or class are described by means of the description, satirical, nostalgic or narrative, of the atmospheres, customs, clothes, parties and amusements, traditions, trades and representative types of a society. The idea of costumbrismo arose from an attempt to understand reality, or more precisely, reality understood in a particular way, from a specific point of view.
