Portrait of Ceferino Pallás (Pablo Gargallo's uncle)

Of all the drawings cataloged here, this portrait is perhaps the one that shows the clearest vocation as a definitive work (probably because its destination was the author's own relative, who should be offered the image most in line with his concept of work. of art) and, far beyond the learning exercises or tests, we can consider it a surprising example of expressive restraint and technical mastery, especially taking into account the age of the artist.

Preserved in Maella by the Pallás family and recovered a few years ago, it is a pair with the Portrait of Fermina Gargallo (Ceferino's wife), although the precarious material state of the second portrait has made its also desired recovery impossible until today.
