La Paloma is an oil on canvas painting by Catalan painter Isidre Nonell, created in 1904, which is exhibited at the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona.

Description

[edit]

La Paloma, draped in burnt orange against a dark green background, faces away from the viewer as if in deep thought. In this painting, Nonell sharply accentuates her features and uses bold strokes to further define her.

Composition

[edit]

The portrait is placed off center and nearly fills the frame. The woman, mostly in shadow faces the muted light.
