Francisco Bueno, ‘Views of the City’, 20th century

Watercolor on paper. The composition depicts a view of ochre-hued terrain leading toward an industrial horizon. A muted, melancholic color palette predominates, based on a subtle combination of bluish grays, faded violets, and earthy ochres. The yellowish, diffuse light in the sky suggests a cloudy winter day or the moment of sunset, enveloping the entire scene in a misty atmosphere. Signed in the lower right corner as “Francisco Bueno.”
