Two sketches of marine scenes

RAMÓN MARTÍ ALSINA (1826-1894)

Catalonia, circa 1860-1865.

Pencil and ink on laid paper.

Testamentary seal signed by Ricard Martí Aguiló.

In the recent doctoral thesis on the artist, written by Concepción M. Chillón, oil paintings have been found that bear a close resemblance to him. The sketches, therefore, are the first impression before transferring to canvas one of the painter’s favourite themes: seascapes.
