Dolores is a 1903 oil by Isidre Nonell, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a woman seated on a chair, wrapped in a shawl. Her face is obscured by the shawl, and her body is angled to the right. The woman's attire is dark, while the shawl features a mix of orange and brown hues. The background of the painting is a muted green color. The woman's pose suggests a sense of introspection or contemplation. The use of muted colors adds to the overall somber mood of the painting. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, explore the works of Isidre Nonell.
Isidre Nonell i Monturiol (30 November 1872 – 21 February 1911) was a Catalan artist from Spain known for his expressive portrayal of socially marginalized individuals in late 19th-century Barcelona.
