- This terracotta relief, created by Manolo Hugué in 1929, depicts two female figures from the back within a square-format composition. The work is characterized by modeling that preserves visible traces of the manual process, where the bodies emerge from the background, creating a shallow spatial tension. The figures' anatomy focuses on volume and the balance of masses, avoiding narrative details to prioritize the physical dialogue between forms.
The work belongs to the period in which the artist intensified his production of reliefs, exploring themes related to movement and human relationships. A preparatory study on paper for this same composition exists, executed in gouache and pencil in Caldes de Montbui that same year, documenting the sculptor's formal research process. This piece reflects a synthesis between the tradition of classical and Gothic sculpture and a modern sensibility focused on the materiality of the ceramic.
