Sketch for Doctor Casana's Family

Sketch for Doctor Casana's Family is a 1925 painting by Julio Romero de Torres. It's housed in the Museum of Fine Arts of Córdoba and measures 0.405 meters wide by 0.305 meters high. The painting depicts a family group, possibly the Casana family, arranged informally. The figures are rendered in a somewhat impressionistic style with loose brushstrokes and muted colors. The background suggests an outdoor setting with a body of water and a distant cityscape visible under a cloudy sky. The figures are not sharply defined, but rather suggested through blocks of color and form. The overall mood is somber and somewhat melancholic.
