Info about artwork:
One more of the little paintings that the painter made in Alicante city, when he spent the summer with his wife Emma and his son Ricardo at his in-laws' house. Note the drawing precision, typical of a goldsmith, where color is barely used, with a practically miniaturist sketch, which he had perfected in Italy together with Fortuny, Simonetti, Tapiró, the Madrazos, Martín Rico, etc. Photography (monochrome) was not yet developed, and this is one of the most valuable graphic documents, for its undoubted realism and precision, to know the surroundings of the capital's City Hall that still overlooked the sea, next to which the fishermen of Raval Roig They beached their boats and prepared their equipment to go out to sea.
