#29485 Jesús Helguera Ausencia (1910-1971)

The composition presents a vertically oriented arrangement dominated by floral motifs and centered around a youthful figure. Here we observe a child, seated amidst a profusion of roses, pansies, and other blooms. The child is dressed in white, with a wide-brimmed hat adorned with flowers, suggesting innocence and purity. A delicate parasol is held loosely in one hand.
The color palette leans heavily on pastel hues – pinks, creams, yellows, and blues – contributing to an overall atmosphere of gentleness and sweetness. The background is densely populated by the floral elements, creating a sense of enclosure and abundance. Above the child, a large blue bow, also interwoven with flowers, forms a decorative archway, drawing the eye upwards and adding a touch of celebratory grandeur.
The arrangement evokes themes of childhood, springtime, and perhaps even nascent beauty. The profusion of flowers suggests fertility and growth, while the child’s pose – seemingly contemplative or slightly melancholic – introduces an element of quiet introspection. Theres a deliberate artificiality to the scene; the abundance feels staged rather than naturalistic, hinting at a constructed ideal of childhood innocence.
The vertical format emphasizes the figure’s presence and reinforces the sense of idealized beauty. The overall effect is one of sentimental charm, likely intended to evoke feelings of nostalgia or tenderness in the viewer.
