The artwork titled “Portrait Of Jaume Miravidles” was created by the artist Salvador Dali between the years 1921 and 1922. This portrait, rendered in oil on panel, measures 41 x 38 cm and belongs to the Expressionist movement. It is classified as a portrait genre and, as of the last record, is part of a private collection.
The artwork offers a rendition of a male figure, presumably Jaume Miravidles, whose intense gaze confronts the viewer. Set against a sky-like background that might hint at a surreal or dreamy atmosphere, the man featured in the portrait wears a dark cap and has a distinctive facial structure, with strong shading that emphasizes his features. As characteristic of Expressionism, there is an effective use of color and brushwork to convey a sense of mood and psychological depth. One can observe the deliberate choice of colors and the stylized treatment of the form, blending personal artistic expression with the portrayal of the subject. Noticeably, the portrait also contains an element of the whimsical or fantastical, with a tiny sailboat placed in the backdrop, possibly signifying a personal or symbolic relevance to the subject or artist.
