Portrait of Miss Mac Flower (Matilde Escalas)

"This painting is closely bound to Santiago Rusiñol experiences as the rest of objects that he collected in the Cau Ferrat. It is not a commissioned work but belongs to a series of portraits that took his friends, relatives or acquaintances as a model.

On this occasion, it seems that under the title Miss Mac Flower was hidden his friend Matilde Escalas i Xamení. She was born in Palma (Balearic Islands) on the year 1860. Matilde stood out as a pianist, composer and a musical pedagogue."
