DARÍO DE REGOYOS Y VALDÉS Ribadesella, Asturias (1857) / Barcelona (1913) "Munich Street"

Graphite on paper Signed in the lower right corner Regoyos, advised by his Spanish friends, among whom were Severo Echenagusia, his brother the painter José Echena and the Benlliure brothers wanted to see the Munchener Jahresausstellung von Kunstwerken aller nationen, which took place in Königl. Glaspalaste, in August 1890. Regoyos did not participate in it on this occasion, but he did visit it several times. During his stay in the city he made several Conté pencil drawings in his travel notebook (hence the measurements of this work), among which this one is found. This drawing represents a typical street in Upper Bavaria in which part of it is under a porch. It shows that the sky is cloudy and also indicates the texture of the walls, columns and supports. People wander through it indicating social activity. We thank Juan San Nicolas for his collaboration in cataloging this work. Measurements: 16 x 10 cm
