Sitges Interior c. 1894

"Sitges Interior" (c. 1894) by Santiago Rusiñol captures a moment of daily life in the Spanish town of Sitges. The painting depicts a woman standing in a doorway, her back turned to the viewer, carrying a pitcher in her arms, as she looks towards an older woman sitting in a chair. The viewer is drawn through the doorway and into the open garden, where a glimpse of nature can be seen. This work exemplifies Rusiñol's signature style, known for its Impressionistic influences and atmospheric depictions of everyday scenes. The work highlights the beauty and charm of everyday life and the warmth of human connection in a simple setting.
