🖋️ Work Description
An extraordinary and rare early work by Josep Puigdengolas Barella, painted in the late 1920s. Profile of a Woman in White Blouse transcends portraiture to become a poetic meditation on introspection, light, and emotional restraint.
The figure, seen in profile, emerges from a golden-toned background with a delicate harmony of line and shadow. The use of panel enhances the precision of the brushwork, revealing the young artist’s astonishing technical control. The serenity of the composition, combined with the luminous modulation of whites and ochres, echoes the refined atmosphere of Symbolist painting, yet with a modern, understated sensitivity.
This painting stands out as a museum-worthy piece—a gem within the oeuvre of Puigdengolas, whose early works are seldom encountered on the market. Its rare theme, exceptional quality, and impeccable state of preservation make it a highly desirable acquisition for connoisseurs of early 20th-century Catalan art.
📚 Brief Biography of the Artist
Josep Puigdengolas Barella (1906–1987) was one of the leading Catalan painters of the 20th century, celebrated for his mastery of light and the Mediterranean landscape. Trained by his father, the painter Francesc Puigdengolas, and at the Escola de Belles Arts de Barcelona, he developed a distinct style rooted in post-impressionism.
Though best known for landscapes and seascapes, Puigdengolas also created portraits and interior scenes of great sensitivity. His work is part of major public and private collections across Europe. This early painting offers a rare glimpse into the emotional depth and technical refinement of his formative years.

Josep Puigdengolas
Josep Puigdengolas Barella (Barcelona, 1906–1987) was one of the most important Catalan landscape painters of the 20th century. Trained at La Llotja and later in Florence, he became a professor of Landscape at the School of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi. He received several prestigious awards, including First Prize at the 1941 Autumn Salon, and his works are held in collections such as the Reina Sofía Museum and the MNAC. A specialist in Mediterranean landscapes, seascapes, and rural corners, his style evolved from realism to a freer, more luminous language deeply rooted in Catalan tradition.
