3. Family at Supper, 1903, pen and ink with watercolour on paper, and the size is 32.1 by 44.5 cm.
In this delicate watercolour and ink image, a Spanish family sits down to supper at a table in the centre of a modest room. In the foreground, a father, on the left, and a young child, on the right, sit on a plain wooden bench at the table with their backs to us. The father, with a plate and spoon in front of him, holds a bottle of wine and looks down towards the child. The child looks back at the father with a neutral expression and their arms on top of their plate. The mother, to the right of the child, bends to set a covered blue bowl of food on the table. She appears in profile, wearing a white headscarf tied to hold her hair back. The father and child sit facing a red framed window in the centre of the background. Blue wooden panels line the lower half of the walls. A green and blue painting hangs to the left of the window and a wooden chair with vertical slats on the back sits below it. To the right of the window, behind the mother, there is a cast iron cauldron hanging over a hearth, with two terracotta pots sitting under it.
