Amarilla
Amarilla by British Painter Frederic Leighton (1830 – 1896); margolaria eta eskultorea izan zen, Akademikoaren parte zena, Mugimendu estetiko neoklasikoak eta britainiarrak; baita politikaria ere.
This is a beautiful portrait of a young alluring brunette girl with a sad look on her face posing by a stone wall that overlooks the ocean and a shoreline of green foliage.
Directly behind her are two large trees with brown leaves and some red leaves, that indicate the fall season has arrived; and just off to her right we can see small sailboat coming towards the shore.
She has wrapped around her head a white kerchief with a black line pattern along its edge, a white blouse, a full length red dress, a black velour vest jacket; and is holding a handkerchief in her left hand, with her right hand resting on the ledge of the stone wall.

Bere 1877 eskultura, Atleta Python batekin borrokan, bere garaian Britainia Handiko eskultura garaikidean berpizkunde bat inauguratzeko pentsatu zen, Eskultura Berria deitzen zaio. Earl Shinn arte kritikari estatubatuarrak aldarrikatu zuen garai hartan “Leighton izan ezik, ez dago Kensington Museoko arkupean fresko irudi zuzen bat jartzeko gai den inor”. Bere margolanek Britainia Handian irudikatzen zuten 1900 Parisko Erakusketa.
