The ‘Filipina with a Red Parasol’ is a charming composition from 1911, which puts him squarely back in Manila after his foreign studies in painting and as one of the respected instructors at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts which was founded just two years before under the American regime.
De la Rosa would be called one of the painters who could best capture a Filipino summer’s day. In this work at hand, a woman — interestingly dressed in the Philippine flag’s tri-color — strolls through a Manila borough. She raises the hem of her skirt daintily to reveal a dark velvet slipper. A dirt road, a thatch hut and a stand of banana trees wreath the feminine figure who looks away from the viewer. (Lisa Guerrero Nakpil)","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"
