About the Item

Enrique SERRA AUQUE Barcelona, 1859 - Rome, 1918 Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower left “ENRIQUE SERRA/ 1892 ” 40 x 33 cm (45 x 38 cm with frame) Nice old frame in wood Enrique Serra Auqué studied painting at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona with Ramón Martí Alsina and Domènec Talarn. He continued his studies in Rome in 1879 with Mariano Fortuny at the Chigi academy. Enrique Serra had his first successes in Rome. He also received a gold medal at the 1888 at the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona. He also traveled to Paris where he settled in 1895 and opened a workshop. Enrique Serra Auqué exhibited both in Paris and in Barcelona at Sala Parés. Our painting is characteristic of his genre scenes with elegant nice young girls in seductive poses. Another example is a painting that was sold in auction in October 2011 at Sotheby's New York, an “Orange Seller” with the same ravishing pose, her head lightly resting on her right hand. Serra Auqué's works are present in particular at the National Art Museum of Catalonia and at the Víctor-Balaguer Museum Library in Vilanova i la Geltrú in Catalonia.
