La Paloma is an oil on canvas painting by Catalan painter Isidre Nonell, created in 1904, which is exhibited at the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona.
La Paloma, draped in burnt orange against a dark green background, faces away from the viewer as if in deep thought. In this painting, Nonell sharply accentuates her features and uses bold strokes to further define her.
The portrait is placed off center and nearly fills the frame. The woman, mostly in shadow faces the muted light.

Casa Vicens is a modernist building situated in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona. It is the work of architect Antoni Gaudí and is considered to be his first major project. It was built between 1883 and 1885, although Gaudí drew up the initial plans between 1878 and 1880. The work belongs to the orientalist style, similar to Neo-Mudéjar architecture, although interpreted in Gaudí’s own personal way, with a uniqueness that only he knew how to add to his projects. In this work, and for the first time, Gaudí outlined some of his constructive resources that would become regular features throughout the emergence of Modernisme. The work was widely discussed when it was built and caused a great sensation among the general public at the time. When the building was constructed, Gràcia was still an independent urban nucleus of Barcelona; it had its own council and was classified as a town, though nowadays it is a district of the city.
