Hello, this item is a mid-20th-century oil on canvas titled “Seville,” by the Spanish artist J. Eglés, measuring 16 x 20 inches. The verso bears a Spanish registration label that identifies the artist’s nationality as Spanish and lists his place of birth as Seville, noting academic studies in Madrid and a painting award from the Diputación (provincial government). The composition depicts a lively architectural street scene rendered in expressive impasto, dominated by ochre and terracotta tones. The rhythmic arches and domed structures resemble Andalusian architecture, and the painterly texture suggests influences from the Escuela Sevillana of the 1950s–60s, which combined regional colorism with modernist abstraction.

Historically, artists such as Eglés worked within the postwar resurgence of Spanish figurative modernism that blended expression and architectural motif. Paintings of similar size and style by comparable Spanish regional artists (e.g., Ramos, Menchu Gal, or contemporaries from the Madrid or Seville circuits) have sold in the 300–600 USD range in European auctions when framed and in good condition. The attached label and documented award raise its provenance reliability, supporting a fair market valuation of 500–800 USD.
