This captivating oil painting, attributed to an unidentified artist, presents a deeply introspective and evocative scene. Rendered in a rich palette of warm golden hues, the composition features intense, expressive faces gazing toward a crowned infant figure. The masterful interplay of shadow and light lends an almost spiritual or allegorical depth to the piece, evoking themes of wisdom, guardianship, and the passage of time.
Executed in a Symbolist or Expressionist manner, the painting exhibits striking similarities to early 20th-century European modernism, reminiscent of the dramatic chiaroscuro and emotionally charged compositions found in the works of Käthe Kollwitz or Franz von Stuck. The close, intimate framing of the figures enhances the work’s meditative quality, making it a profound and thought-provoking addition to any collection.
Housed in an elegant silver-tone frame with a deep blue mat, this small-format artwork commands attention despite its modest size, offering collectors and art enthusiasts a unique piece of mysterious and compelling visual storytelling.

Description of the Artwork
This painting captures a lively Haitian market scene, embodying the essence of Haitian primitivist art with its vibrant colors and thick impasto brushstrokes. The scene depicts a bustling marketplace where vendors and buyers interact, surrounded by piles of tropical fruits arranged in baskets. The figures are dressed in bright, contrasting tones, enhancing the painting’s dynamic and energetic atmosphere.
The artist’s expressive, thick strokes and saturated colors create a sense of movement and liveliness.

Cape Maneuver bullfighter oil painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Cape Maneuver
Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 – 1986)
Technique: Oil on canvas mounted on board
Dimensions: 19.7 x 23.6 in (50 x 60 cm)
Date: Circa 1980s
Signature: Signed "Tuser" in the lower left corner
Condition: Excellent; thick, vibrant brushwork and vivid colors well preserved.
📝 Description
This painting captures a dramatic moment in the bullfight — the classic verónica — as the matador gracefully halts the bull’s charge with a sweeping motion of the cape. The vivid contrast of magentas, blues, and golds intensifies the theatrical tension between man and beast. The composition is dynamic yet controlled, emphasizing the poise of the torero against the raw force of the bull.
The expressive brushstrokes and thick impasto enhance the sense of movement, while the abstracted background ensures focus remains on the central figures. The piece is a striking blend of figuration and emotional energy, characteristic of Tuser’s taurine works.
👤 About the Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez
José María Tuser Vázquez was a Spanish painter born in Barcelona in 1919. He studied at the Barcelona School of Arts and Crafts and began exhibiting in the 1940s. By 1947, he had fully devoted his career to bullfighting scenes, developing a distinctive figurative expressionist style with impressionist influences.
He collaborated with the magazine El Ruedo, creating numerous illustrations and covers, and designed collectible postcards for Editorial Artigas. His work became well-known in Spanish artistic circles and is now part of both private and institutional collections, including the Club Taurino of London.
His paintings have been auctioned internationally, reaching up to $3,000 depending on size and subject. His legacy is that of a painter who masterfully captured the emotion, tradition, and drama of the Spanish corrida.
