#17554 Miquel Rivera Bagur

The composition presents a family group set within a stylized landscape. A woman stands slightly ahead of two children; she is positioned centrally and holds a small bouquet of flowers. Her gaze is directed forward, exhibiting a quiet solemnity. The figures are rendered with simplified forms and bold outlines, characteristic of folk art traditions.
To the right of the woman, a young boy walks alongside her, holding a balloon aloft. A smaller child follows behind, also clutching something in their hand. Their expressions appear neutral, almost detached, contributing to an overall sense of stillness within the scene. The children’s clothing is rendered with flat planes of color and minimal detail.
The background consists of a verdant field punctuated by bare trees. These trees are depicted with stark, dark trunks and branches that reach towards the sky, creating a somewhat claustrophobic effect despite the open space. A circular shape, possibly representing a sun or halo, is visible behind the woman’s head, lending her an air of reverence or significance. Scattered across the field are small, stylized shapes – perhaps flowers or stars – adding subtle visual interest to the background.
A dark form, likely a dog, sits near the bottom edge of the painting, seemingly observing the family from a distance. The limited color palette – primarily greens, reds, and blues – further reinforces the work’s folk art aesthetic.
The subtexts within this image suggest themes of familial connection, perhaps tinged with melancholy or introspection. The womans posture and expression convey a sense of quiet strength, while the children’s detached demeanor hints at an underlying emotional complexity. The stylized landscape contributes to a dreamlike quality, distancing the scene from immediate reality and inviting contemplation on universal human experiences.
