• 

  Tall stylized figures, some with a bird-like head, stand in a wide plain of plowed fields. A dark bull appears at left, and a woman in a white shawl raises her arms at right, beneath pink and violet hills in the distance.

• 

  A rutted road runs between picket fences lined with tall pines and birches toward a long wooden house. Three people walk along the road under a warm sepia sky. A signature and a date appear at lower right.

• 

  Smooth winding hills in ochre, orange and olive green fill the scene. Small dark creatures, bare trees and birds on mounds are scattered across them, with a wind-bent tree at center left. A signature appears at lower right.

• 

  Rows of white rounded houses with arched doorways and hooded orange chimneys fill a pale landscape. Clay jars, dark wooden stakes, a green ball and a small tree appear in the foreground, and a signature and date sit at lower right.

• 

  Brown tent-like shelters with arched openings and antler-shaped poles sit on pale sandy dunes. Lantern-like forms, short stakes, a boulder, desert grass, a bare tree and a small white moon appear in the pinkish sky.

• 

  Smooth, winding hills in cream, gray and olive fill the scene. Small dark creatures, bare trees and birds perched on mounds are scattered across them, with a wind-bent tree at center left. A signature appears at lower right.

• 

  Eight framed balconies with black iron railings are arranged in two rows. Women in blouses, aprons, shawls and long skirts lean on the railings alone or in pairs, painted in warm pink and brown tones. A signature appears at lower right.

• 

  Four brown clay jugs with banded decoration stand in a row above two green fruits, a halved fruit and a plucked bird with a red beak. A small radish lies at lower right against a dark gray wall.

• 

  A bundle of paintbrushes with red, orange and wooden handles stands in a shiny metal cup. A decorated bowl with a white spoon sits beside it on a wooden board, against drapes of brown and green fabric.

• 

  A bright orange pumpkin slice rests on a clay jar beside an onion, a head of garlic, two gray gourds and a wooden spoon. A brown striped cloth falls across the table in deep folds.

• 

  A white chapel with a bell gable and a tiled porch stands among tall cypress trees above a pale sea. A heavy red curtain frames the scene like a stage, and a figure in black walks across the stone terrace carrying a jar.

• 

  Two log houses, one thatched, stand either side of a red gate in a woven fence. A bare tree full of birds rises behind them, geese stand at lower left, and a tall pole hung with objects stands at right under a cloudy pink sky.

• 

  A white bowl of ripe tomatoes, a green bottle and a glass of red wine sit on a wooden table. Dried red peppers and a golden fish hang from the wall, and a floral curtain falls at right.

• 

  A red cup with a painted band holds an orange wooden spoon and a white ladle. A clay dish, a long-handled spoon and two gray gourds, one with a red cut, rest on a brown table in front of a heavy dark curtain.

• 

  A long pink wall with a round window and an arched door stands at the center of a town of orange roofs and towers. A tall sculptural form rises from a round base in the sandy square, and a pale sky lies beyond the battlements.

• 

  A dried fish glows orange in the light beside a tall dark bottle and a pale jar on a round wooden table. Soft shadows fall on a mottled green wall behind them.

• 

  Three white pears with small painted faces, a green goblet and a dark gourd-shaped fruit sit on a lace cloth. Wicker chairs flank the table, and green patterned curtains open onto an orange plowed field.

• 

  A tiered mantel holds white and dark pitchers and bowls beneath a tall blue and black cone topped by a pale disc. A red knot-shaped symbol floats at right, and green curtains frame a mustard yellow wall.

• 

  White flat-roofed buildings, tall chimneys and rounded forms cluster along a red winding path. Layered hills in ochre, orange and brown with small dark trees fill the upper half, and a clay jar stands near a wall at left.

• 

  A row of whitewashed houses with tiled roofs and arched doorways sits below hills striped in orange, brown and ochre. A green cart wheel, a clay jar and pale stone cones stand in the foreground, and a signature caption runs along the bottom.

• 

  Sculptural artwork by Alberto Sánchez; specific title and date not verified.

• 

  Smooth, folded hills in ochre, orange, tan and brown fill the scene, marked with rows of small dark trees and a few thin figures. A white block house, a green pond and a pale winding path cross the landscape.

• 

  A whitewashed building with a dark open doorway has a small round tower topped by a bird weathervane. A grid of small red crosses marks the wall above the door, and orange and ochre hills fill the background.

• 

  A whitewashed building has a bell hung in a tall arched gable, a tiled roof edge and a grid of red dots on its wall. A dark arched doorway opens at right, and orange and brown hills dotted with small trees rise behind.

• 

  A man in a beret, round glasses and a green shirt holds a brush and a palette. A jar of brushes and a small bottle of oil sit on a wooden table at left, with a canvas stretcher and a brown curtain behind him.

• 

  A lined, serious face looks out from under a dark cap, framed by round wire glasses. He wears a green work shirt, and a dark wood grain fills the background. Warm orange tones light the face against the cool green clothing.

• 

  A tall masked figure in a dark cape and straw-topped hat holds a pole hung with small fish and a round loaf. A smaller figure in a white hood with antlers and two gourds walks beside it on a pale, sandy ground.

• 

  A figure with a white bird head and a long orange beak wears a frilled collar, a yellow vest and green cape and plays a long horn. Birdcages, perches and small birds fill the room, and a checkered floor stretches below.

• 

  A mustached man in a high-collared jacket with a small tassel looks out toward the viewer with one hand on his chest. The drawing is made in dark, hatched tones, and an inscription with a date appears at upper right.

• 

  A man in a yellow straw hat, green shirt, blue trousers and rope-soled shoes carries a stick over one shoulder and a gourd in his hand. His long shadow falls on a warm ochre wall, and a signature appears at upper left.

• 

  A man in a beret, round glasses, a green shirt and blue trousers sits on a stool beside an easel. A wall clock hangs at upper left, a lamp glows at upper right, and a blank canvas leans against the wall.
