Noël Ribes | José Benlliure Gil (Valencia, 1855

Portrait of gentleman

Technique: Oil on wood, in a giltwood frame

Dimensions: 20 x 16 cm

Condition: Excelent

Provenance: Private Collection, Valencia.

Magnificent portrait of small dimensions, presented half-length, posing in strict profile to the left, on a neutral background. The work is signed and dedicated ‘Al amich A.Querol / J. Benlliure’ at half height, on the right. The reverse bears an inventory number and an old, illegible pen inscription.

As for the identity of the sitter, we do not know, although it is possible, whether it coincides with that of the dedication, perhaps the renowned sculptor Agustín Querol y Subirats (Tortosa, 1860 - Madrid, 1909); both artists were contemporaries and the Valencian painter's own brother, Mariano Benlliure, a sculptor like Querol, competed with him in academic competitions such as the Pensión de Roma and in projects for important public monuments, such as the one dedicated to General Martínez Campos in Madrid's Retiro Park.
