Bar none, you have to love this oil on board painting by European artist Pere Ysern Y Alie. Another highlight from the Pantages Portfolio, this example features three finely dressed ladies sitting on high chairs at a bar, and another woman, probably the barmaid, standing behind the bar. Beautiful pink flowers in a blue vase add another focal point to this colorful work.
Pere Ysern Y Alie (c.1875-1946) lived and worked in Spain and France throughout his professional career. His style included both impressionist and realist paintings, with his preferred themes including dancers, nightlife, and landscapes, especially those of the island of Mallorca.
