Análisis artístico

Asensio Julià, also known as "El Pescadoret" ("The Little Fisherman"), was first painted by Goya many years earlier in his studio. Here he is shown seated before a table, drawing with a piece of charcoal. He is dressed in a dark outfit, the only brighter part being his shirt, around the collar of which he wears a black tie. The striking top hat he wears gives him a picturesque air.

His face, which is looking out at the viewer, appears serious and preoccupied.

According to Gudiol, the whole work contains a great harmony between the different visual elements: lines, light, shade, volume and flat areas.

 

For further biographical information, see Asensio Julià “El Pescadoret”.
