Ramón Reventós

There is a copy, in plaster, in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona.

Since the time of Els Quatre Gats, Gargallo maintained a close and permanent friendship with the brothers Ramon and Jacint Reventós. Of the latter, who was his personal doctor for many years, he made the well-known Portrait of Doctor Reventós in 1923, also included here. Ramón Reventós (1881-1924), writer and humorous journalist, has left us perhaps the most complete and intentional physiognomic note, even in its brevity, of those known about Pablo Gargallo's youth:
This artist, until he got married, was very amorous and a little pretentious. God forbid I should say that he was not handsome and desirable, because that would be knowingly lying; but he realized it. In reality, the only thing missing was two or three fingers more size. As he was very bulky, with his short stature he was somewhat square. On the other hand, his head is very attractive; In the eyes and in the mouth one can see a healthy joy, something wild, which at that time overflowed with laughter, more typical of a young man from Teruel (sic) than of a Parisian artist. Pablo had very beautiful hair, black, shiny and curly.
