The result of the best luminist in Europe, this small panel seems to be a trapped moment, as in a photograph, in which the light, really based on colours, shows the capture of time in tenths of a second, with its five figures spread over the jetty of Madrid’s Estanque Grande del Buen Retiro. The different tests confirmed what the stylistic comparison had already suggested: that this was one of the Valencian master’s wonderful “colour notes”, of which he produced more than 2,000 throughout his career. The work is dedicated to his friend the mathematician Augusto Krahe García, with whom he shared a house during his stay in Madrid in 1882.
