The artwork “Portrait of Jaume Miravidles as a Footballer” is an oil on panel painting created by the artist Salvador Dali between the years 1921 and 1922. Classified within the Expressionism movement, this portrait measures 103 by 38.5 centimeters and depicts its subject in the genre of portraiture. Currently, the artwork resides within a private collection.
The portrait features a full-length figure, presumably of Jaume Miravidles, dressed in a traditional football (soccer) attire of the early 20th century. The subject stands against a nondescript background, with a neutral palette that contrasts with the richly hued uniform. His attire consists of a white shirt with a rolled-down collar, black shorts, striped socks, and time-specific football boots. The figure’s expression is serious, and the face displays features consistent with expressionist works, where emotions are often conveyed through distortion and exaggeration. The subject’s arms are set akimbo, and their posture and stance suggest a combination of confidence and casualness.
