We acquired this fabulous painting from an upscale estate in Cincinnati, OH. Great "look", style and palette! This piece not only presents beautifully, but has great potential for investment. Presented in a scooped wooden gray period frame.

Riba-Rovira was one of Gertrude Stein's favorite artists. He was praised and sought after by Gertrude Stein and her circle. She said of Roveira, “It is inevitable that when we really need someone we find him. The person you need attracts you like a magnet. I returned to Paris after these long years spent in the
countryside and I needed a young painter, a young painter who would awaken me. And now here we are, I find a young painter who does not follow the tendency to play with what Cézanne could not do, but who attacks any right the things which he tried to make, to create the objects which have to exist, for, and in themselves, and not in relation. This young painter has his weakness and his strength. His force will push him in this road. I am fascinated and that is why he is the young painter who I needed. He is Francisco Riba-Rovira.”
