Praying Hands in Violet, Large Spanish Expressionist Figurative Artwork Artist: Vicent Calbet Riera (Spanish, 1940–1994) Title: Praying Hands (Descriptive Title) Date: 1993 Medium: Mixed media on paper, oil painting and watercolor Dimensions: 98 × 68 cm / 38.6 × 26.8 in Framed Dimensions: 120 × 90 cm / 47.2 × 35.4 in Signature: Hand-signed and dated by the artist in the upper right corner Framed: Yes, presented in an elegant black frame with gold detailing and black mat Condition: Very good condition Style: Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Figurative Expressionism Period: Late 20th Century Origin: Spain, Ibiza, Balearic Islands Subject: Praying hands, spirituality, human expression, emotion Exceptional large-scale expressionist painting by Vicent Calbet Riera (1940–1994), one of the most significant figures in the development of contemporary art in Ibiza, Spain. Created in 1993, just one year before the artist's death, this striking original mixed-media composition belongs to the final and mature period of his artistic career. The painting depicts two monumental hands joined in an evocative gesture of prayer, contemplation, or spiritual devotion. Executed in a powerful combination of oil and watercolor, the composition merges expressive figuration with lyrical abstraction, creating a deeply emotional visual experience. At the center of the painting, the hands emerge from an atmospheric violet background, their forms defined by fiery shades of orange, vermilion, crimson, and brilliant yellow. Energetic touches of turquoise blue, white, and charcoal black introduce movement, contrast, and remarkable visual intensity. The artist's sophisticated handling of different media is particularly compelling. Thick, expressive applications of oil emphasize the hands, giving them an almost sculptural presence, while the watercolor background produces a soft, atmospheric field of purples and blues. This extraordinary interplay between materiality and transparency creates a fascinating tension between the physical and the spiritual, the tangible and the intangible. The hands appear to rise from the composition, transforming a recognizable human gesture into a universal symbol of hope, vulnerability, meditation, and transcendence. Rather than pursuing traditional anatomical realism, Calbet dissolves the boundaries of the human form through vigorous brushwork, gestural abstraction, and an exceptionally expressive use of color. The resulting image possesses an almost mystical quality, encouraging viewers to discover their own emotional and symbolic interpretations. The painting exemplifies the mature artistic language of Vicent Calbet, whose work progressively evolved from figurative representation toward a highly personal synthesis of expressive gesture, abstraction, color, and psychological intensity. Its creation in 1993 is particularly noteworthy. That same year, the artist was the subject of an important retrospective exhibition, *Vicent Calbet. Trenta anys de pintura*, organized in Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca, celebrating three decades of artistic production. Measuring an impressive 98 × 68 cm (38.6 × 26.8 inches), the original painting has a commanding vertical presence. Its elegant black and gold frame brings the overall dimensions to 120 × 90 cm (47.2 × 35.4 inches), making it an outstanding statement piece for sophisticated contemporary interiors. The remarkable combination of vibrant color, emotional expression, and spiritual symbolism makes this original Spanish painting...

**Title:** Sierra Nevada Spain Mountain Landscape Modernist Watercolour on Handmade Paper **Artist:** European School, 20th century **Medium:** Watercolour on handmade paper, unframed **Size:** 7.75 x 11.25 inches **Signature:** Unsigned **Stamped verso:** No stamp visible from the images provided **Provenance:** Private collection **Condition:** Fair to good vintage condition. The handmade paper shows age toning, surface marks, pinholes, creasing, handling wear and irregular deckled edges. There are visible losses, nicks and roughness to the lower edge, with further wear and small losses to the corners and outer margins. The painted image remains atmospheric, decorative and visually appealing. **Description:** A striking 20th century European School watercolour landscape, painted on textured handmade paper and inscribed verso **Sierra Nevada Spain**. The composition depicts a dramatic mountain range with snow-covered peaks, layered slopes and a dark band of distant cloud or sea beyond. The scene has a bold, simplified quality, combining the atmosphere of a travel study with the structure of a modernist landscape. The painting is particularly appealing for its graphic treatment of mountain forms. The artist reduces the Sierra Nevada view into broad planes of muted blue, grey, brown, ochre and cream, allowing the snowy ridges and angular slopes to stand out clearly against the darker background. The result is atmospheric yet design-led, with the mountain landscape arranged almost as a series of abstract colour fields. The handmade paper adds considerable character to the work. Its warm natural tone, visible fibres, pinholes and irregular deckled edges give the piece a tactile, artisanal quality, enhancing the sense of the painting as an original travel study or plein air-inspired work. The painted area sits within the sheet, leaving the surrounding handmade paper visible and giving the work a distinctive object-like presence. The verso inscription identifies the subject as **Sierra Nevada Spain**, giving the piece useful topographical and search appeal. The Sierra Nevada mountain range in southern Spain has long attracted artists and travellers for its dramatic peaks, changing light and contrast between high mountain scenery and warmer Mediterranean tones. This watercolour captures that sense of rugged landscape through a restrained but expressive palette. This original work would appeal to collectors of Spanish landscapes, Sierra Nevada paintings...

Romana Milutin Fabris (b.1941) Dubrovnik Cityscape with Nude Women, ca. 1970. Gouache on illustration board, 23 x 32.5 inches; 25 x 34.5 inches framed. Signed lower right. Foil frame label on verso from 1960's with 5 digit telephone number, dating this piece to ca. 1970. Romana Milutin Fabris, born in 1941 in Dubrovnik, is one such artist: unwavering, devoted, and endlessly inspired. Her artistic education began at the School of Applied Arts in Split and Zagreb, and continued at the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade, where she laid the foundations of her distinctive visual language. A pivotal moment in her formation came with an international scholarship from the Austrian government, which enabled her to study in Salzburg under the great master Oskar Kokoschka-a painter of profound expressionist vision, whose spirit echoes in Romana’s work without ever being immitated. From the outset, she forged her own path-intimate but consistent, deeply personal and unmistakably her own. In 1964, she opened her first solo exhibition at the Sponza Palace in Dubrovnik, marking the beginning of a presence on the art scene that has now spanned more than six decades. Dubrovnik occupies a special place in her work. It is not merely the city of her birth, but the city of her soul-an eternal source of inspiration. Its stone walls, austere Mediterranean light, and the lush branches of bougainvillea reappear time and again on her canvases. Through these motifs, we sense belonging, but also poetic distance-for Romana does not paint the landscape as an external scene, but as an inner experience. Her colours speak in silence, her forms exude tranquillity, and the figures in her portraits radiate a depth that reaches beyond the visible. Each painting is a page from the diary of a strong and sensitive spirit, a woman who has preserved a childlike wonder, a profound reverence for beauty, and a lifelong belief in the power of artistic expression. Romana Milutin Fabris reminds us that art is not a fleeting moment, but a lasting presence. / 1965 / FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION, SPONZA PALACE ATRIUM, DUBROVNIK · ATELIER FOR INTERIOR DESIGN MASLINA - WORK COMPLETED UNDER THE FAMOUS PAINTER MILOVAN STANIĆ...

'Paris, la Bourse', gouache on paper, by Lucien Génin (circa 1930s). Created at the beginning of the 19th century by Napoleon, la Bourse, or the Stock Exchange, was intended to assert and encourage France’s prosperity in industry and trade. In 1826 the Stock Exchange was installed in the palace that the architect Brongniart had begun in 1808. Surrounded by a large peristyle of Corinthian columns, the rectangular structure reflects the official neo-classicism of the Empire Period. The artist, Génin, depicts a typically lively 1930s day in front of the building with cars of the period zooming by pedestrians on the walkway and others on the stairs leading to the entrance. He has an extremely charming, almost childlike style particularly the way he renders the people and the vehicles. The building, on the other hand, is accurate in its detail and more seriously presented. Our gallery has held and has sold over a dozen of Genin's paintings but this one stands out for its pure stylish appeal and ability to captivate while inducing a smile in the viewer. The artwork is in good overall condition - there are some minor blemishes not on the artwork itself but on the edges of the mount to which it is attached. The frame is in fair condition showing some nicks and scratches. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video can be provided. Signed by the artist in the lower right hand. About the Artist: After the devastation of the First World War, Lucien Génin (1894 - 1953) left his provincial home in the autumn of 1919 to find his fortune among the lively Parisians in the heart of Montmartre. Génin befriended the painters Frank Will, Gen Paul, Émile Boyer...

**Title:** Modernist Coastal Seascape Marsh Landscape Watercolour on Handmade Paper **Artist:** British School / European School, 20th century **Medium:** Watercolour on handmade paper, unframed **Size:** 7.75 x 11.25 inches **Signature:** Unsigned **Stamped verso:** Not shown / no stamp visible from the image provided **Provenance:** Private collection **Condition:** Fair to good vintage condition. The handmade paper shows age toning, surface marks, pinholes, handling wear, creasing and irregular deckled edges. There are small nicks, tears and areas of roughness to the outer edges and corners, consistent with age and the nature of the handmade sheet. The painted image remains atmospheric and decorative. **Description:** A subtle 20th century British School or European School watercolour landscape, painted on textured handmade paper and depicting a broad coastal seascape or marshland view. The composition is arranged in quiet horizontal bands of grey, blue, green and earthy brown, suggesting open water, tidal flats, low vegetation, distant land and a wide clouded sky. The painting is particularly appealing for its restrained modernist approach to landscape. The artist reduces the coastal scene into simplified strips of colour and tone, creating an impression of space, weather and atmosphere rather than a highly detailed topographical view. The pale grey sky dominates the upper half of the composition, while darker horizontal accents suggest a distant shoreline, reed beds, marsh edges or low coastal vegetation. The palette is muted and atmospheric, with soft blue-grey washes balanced by touches of green, brown and cream. These gentle tonal shifts give the work a calm, contemplative quality, evoking the quiet light of a coastal plain, estuary or wetland landscape. The simplified structure gives the piece a decorative modernist feel while still retaining the sense of an observed natural view. The handmade paper adds considerable character to the work. Its visible fibres, pinholes, warm natural tone and irregular edges give the piece a tactile, artisanal quality. The painted image sits within the sheet, leaving the surrounding paper visible and giving the work an attractive object-like presence. This original watercolour would appeal to collectors of coastal landscapes, seascapes, marshland paintings...

**Title:** Sierra Nevada Granada Spain Snowy Mountain Watercolour on Handmade Paper **Artist:** European School, 20th century **Medium:** Watercolour on handmade paper, unframed **Size:** 7.75 x 11.25 inches **Signature:** Unsigned **Stamped verso:** No stamp visible from the images provided **Provenance:** Private collection **Condition:** Fair to good vintage condition. The handmade paper shows age toning, surface marks, pinholes, handling wear, creasing and irregular deckled edges. There are visible nicks, tears, small losses and roughness to the outer edges and corners, consistent with age and the nature of the handmade sheet. The painted image remains atmospheric, decorative and visually appealing. **Description:** A striking 20th century European School watercolour landscape, painted on textured handmade paper and inscribed verso **Sierra Nevada Granada Spain**. The composition depicts a dramatic mountain view, with snow-covered peaks rising above layered rocky slopes and a blue lake or valley below. The scene has a bold, simplified quality, combining the atmosphere of a travel study with the decorative structure of a modernist landscape. The painting is particularly appealing for its graphic treatment of the mountain forms. The artist reduces the Sierra Nevada landscape into broad planes of muted blue, grey, brown, ochre, green and white, allowing the snow-capped ridges to stand out strongly against the darker surrounding slopes. The result is atmospheric yet design-led, with the landscape arranged almost as a series of abstract colour fields. The verso inscription identifies the subject as the Sierra Nevada near Granada in Spain, giving the piece strong topographical and search appeal. The Sierra Nevada mountain range is one of southern Spain’s most distinctive landscapes, known for its dramatic peaks, changing light and contrast between high mountain scenery and warmer Andalusian tones. This watercolour captures that sense of rugged terrain through a restrained but expressive palette. The handmade paper adds considerable character to the work. Its warm natural tone, visible fibres, pinholes and irregular deckled edges give the piece a tactile, artisanal quality, enhancing its sense as an original travel study or plein air-inspired work. The painted area sits within the sheet, leaving the surrounding handmade paper visible and giving the work a distinctive object-like presence. This original watercolour would appeal to collectors of Spanish landscapes, Sierra Nevada paintings...
