Spanish school; 1924. "The civil guard". Watercolor and graphite on paper. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 34 x 27 cm; 46 x 40 cm (frame). Scene that presents a civil guard on the phone, with his back to the viewer. Aesthetically the work is heir to the painting of Normal Rockwell, who used archetypes of contemporary life in completely everyday situations, aesthetically influenced by a style linked to illustration and advertising. Therefore, in this apparently simple image, it is possible to appreciate a certain content of denunciation by the author.
