Francisco Pradilla Ortiz
Artistic analysis
A watercolour on paper from a collection that sought to highlight the artist’s skill beyond the realm of oil painting. This watercolour depicts the profile of an elderly man clad in a worn tunic, holding his hat in one hand whilst fingering the beads of a rosary with the other; Pradilla masterfully captures his physical features whilst achieving a striking psychological insight.
