Manolas outside the bullring
Imagine the ultimate girls' day out, circa 1900! Francisco Iturrino, a close friend of Picasso and Matisse, captures a lively group of 'Manolas'—fashionable women known for their elaborate floral shawls—gathered outside a bullring. The scene is a riot of color and loose brushstrokes, showing off Iturrino's Post-Impressionist style that blends Spanish tradition with French artistic energy. Notice the woman in the foreground kneeling with a basket of fruit, adding a touch of everyday realism to this vibrant, gossipy social gathering.
