  PEDRO BUENO VILLAREJO (Villa del Río, Córdoba, 1910 - Madrid, 1993). "Portrait of a lady. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 100 x 81 cm; 102 x 83 cm (frame). In this work the artist presents a seated woman, with her hands clasped in her lap, attentive and expectant with respect to the viewer's gaze. The attitude, added to the use of a cold chromatic range dominated by blues and grays, brings us closer to a psychological portrait where we reflect on the protagonist and her role, although it is true that the gold bracelet, the elegance and sobriety of her dress and hairstyle, are elements that indicate a well-to-do position in the society of the moment. It is interesting to note the elongation of the figure, which is presented through anatomical dimensions that flee from reality. Pedro Bueno studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Cordoba and at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid. In 1943 he exhibited in the Salón de los Once at the Biosca Gallery in Madrid, and that same year he obtained his first official recognition, the third medal at the National Fine Arts. The following year he made his individual debut at the Biosca Gallery. In 1950 he participated in the International Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Cairo, and four years later he was definitively consecrated as an artist, winning the first medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Cordoba, and today his work is represented in the Reina Sofia Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts of Cordoba, the Municipal Museum of Madrid, the Camilo José Cela Foundation Collection, the Caja Provincial de Ahorros de Cordoba, the Leandro Navarro, the Varela Junquera and the Biosca and Balboa galleries, among many other outstanding private collections.
