Federico Castellón

Of Land and Sea
1939

A black and white illustration depicting four figures in a surreal landscape. Three individuals, two men and a woman, are seated on the ground, with their backs partially turned to the viewer. They appear to be engaged in conversation. The fourth figure is a woman, depicted in a flowing dress, seemingly caught in a strong gust of wind that dramatically arches her back and lifts her hair, giving the impression that she is part of the ship's figurehead. The background is minimalistic, with a hint of a distant horizon line. The artwork is signed by Federico Castellón.
