This painting is by Montserrat Aleix (Palamós, Catalonia 1908 - Mexico DF 2004), a Catalan woman who had to go on exile after the fascists’ victory in the Spanish Civil War, in 1939. She moved to Mexico, where she lived for the rest of her life.

She started to paint when she was 64 years old, in a characteristic naïve style that mixed Catalan and Mexican influences.
