Exceptional pair of oil paintings on canvas in which two views of elegant houses are presented in broad daylight. They are entitled The shadow of the tree on the white facade and The house of the Blue Door.
In both, the composition stands out, taking a complicated point of view, avoiding showing the buildings from the front. "The shadow of the tree on the white facade" is divided into two vertical halves, in the left area shows the white wall on the side of the building, on which the shadow of the tree is projected, with only a couple of branches peeking out. The right side shows the blue gate that closes the perimeter of the house, from which some classically inspired ornamentation can be seen, such as the fluted pilasters and the drops that decorate the cornice.
For its part, "The House of the Blue Door" shows the entrance to another house, with slate roofs in a bluish tone that combines with the intense blue of the fence and stands out against the white of the facade, illuminated by the bright light of noon. The colored shadows also contribute to this bluish atmosphere, all of which is punctuated by the green touches of the vegetation. Of particular note on this façade are the voussoir frames surrounding the openings and the imitation of the Renaissance-inspired cushioning on the wall supporting the exterior gate.
These pendant works are created expressly for the purpose of being exhibited together, as a pair, which makes them gain expressive strength. This piece has an attribution mark,
