EDITORS COMMENTS
"This enchanting pastel painting, titled 'The Afternoon Drive, Madrid,' captures the essence of a leisurely outing in early 20th century Spain. Circa 1922, the scene unfolds as two elegant ladies engage in a close conversation, their faces expressing the depth of their connection. Seated in the back of an open-top motor vehicle, they are leaving a picturesque countryside park, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant wildflowers. Protected from the sun by their pink and green parasols, the ladies exude an air of refinement and sophistication. The gentle curves of their parasols add a pop of color to the otherwise muted tones of the painting. In the foreground, a magazine with the volume number 16 and the date of February lies on the seat between them, suggesting that they are enjoying a moment of relaxation and enjoyment. The painting is a beautiful representation of the pastime of taking a leisurely drive through the Spanish countryside, a popular activity among the affluent class during this era. The use of pastels adds a soft, dreamlike quality to the image, transporting us back in time to a simpler era." Artist: Betty Maud Christian Fagan (not the company)
