🏛️ " La Comercial, Bilbao " – Watercolor by Marta Amann

Measurements: 39cm long x 55cm wide (large size)

With Frame: 52cm long x 72cm wide

This work elegantly captures the urban character of Bilbao. The central building, made of light stone with a reddish roof, rises with a serene presence, evoking an institutional architecture steeped in history. The arched windows and ornamental details suggest a public function, while the row of flowering trees adds a vibrant counterpoint, as if spring were trying to soften the solemnity of the stone.

The scene is alive: pedestrians crossing, cars waiting, and a railing suggesting an urban slope, perhaps toward the estuary or a street below. The sky, in shades of gray and blue, envelops the composition in a calm, almost contemplative atmosphere. It's a postcard of Bilbao that not only shows a place, but also conveys a feeling: that of a city that breathes history while still moving.
