A singular mysticism emanates from this painting, which Gudiol achieves by economising means and maximising expression. As if by the effect of the grisaille, the two figures emerge from the background, their fine features and their long-fingered hands, holding a rosary, are subtly delineated.
Montserrat Gudiol began in the art world in the family studio for the restoration of medieval paintings, and from 1950 she began to paint on panel and on paper. That same year she held her first individual exhibition at the Casino de Ripoll (Girona). In 1953 he took part in the group exhibition "Retrato actual" ("Current Portrait") at the Círculo Artístico in Barcelona, and the following year he made his debut abroad with a solo exhibition of drawings held at the Miami Museum (USA). That same year she took part in the collective exhibition "Pintura femenina" (C.I.C.F. of Barcelona), winning the First Prize of the Diputació de Barcelona and the Second Prize San Jorge of the same organisation. In 1960 she took part in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts held in Barcelona, where she won a third medal, and also took part in the International Drawing Exhibition of the Ynglada Guillot Foundation (Barcelona), where she was awarded First Prize. In 1962 she held an important individual exhibition at the Sala Gaspar in Barcelona (a gallery where she would be present again from then on), and that same year she took part in a collective exhibition held at the Casón del Buen Retiro in Madrid. Since then he has continued to hold solo exhibitions and to take part in group shows, both in Spain and in Germany, South Africa, the Czech Republic, China, France, Japan, the United States, Russia and Canada. His personal exhibitions include those held at the Pieter Wenning Gallery in Johannesburg (1967), Tamenaga Gallery in Tokyo (1974), Au Molin de Vauboyen in Paris (1978), the Exhibition Hall of the Union of Painters of the USSR in Moscow (1979), the Dreiseitel Gallery in Cologne (1981) and the Walton-Gilbert Gallery in San Francisco (1984). In 1980 she produced an important monumental work for the Abbey of Montserrat, a representation of Saint Benedict. In 1981 she was the first woman to join the Royal Catalan Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi, and in 1998 the Generalitat de Catalunya awarded her the Cross of Sant Jordi. She is currently represented at the MACBA, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, the Museums of Modern Art in Johannesburg, San Diego, Miami and Flint (USA), the Joseph Cantor Foundation in Indianapolis (USA), the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne (Switzerland), the Monastery of Montserrat and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi.
