Atalaya was a Spanish painter who traditionally painted Iberian subjects with fluid brush strokes and vibrant colours. Many of his works depict inn scenes and equestrian subjects. He exhibited his works in Dresden, Berlin and regularly in Madrid until he settled in Paris in 1876. It is known that he exhibited at the Exposition Universelle des Artistes Français in 1900 and each year thereafter until his death in 1913. Like Forain he had a skill for painting figures vibrantly, sketching his subjects with great speed and ease, only needing a limited amount of effort to convey the essence of his subjects. This set is a unique collection depicting daily life in Paris in the Belle Époque. Each charming work provides a snapshot of a carefree and perhaps happier age of innocence.
