Alexandre de Riquer (1856-1920), a Catalan artist strongly influenced by the English Pre-Raphaelites, created this drawing of a woman. I have taken it from a brochure for 1985 exhibition at Sala Caixa de Barcelona. I would like to thank Professor Enric Bou for providing me with this brochure and the catalogue for the show.
