#29 Escuela Nacional Graduada de Niños de la Florida, Madrid. [Winter Felix Fernández (12 años)].

From the Escuela Nacional Graduada de Niños de la Florida in Madrid comes a child’s careful drawing attributed in the title to Winter Félix Fernández, aged 12. The sheet reads like a small street scene: a hat-wearing adult stands facing a smaller figure, while a spotted animal—likely a dog—moves through the foreground across a patterned, tiled ground. Sparse lines and muted tones suggest both patience and observation, turning an everyday moment into something staged and memorable.

Handwritten notes near the top, including “DIBUJO LIBRE,” point to a free-drawing exercise, the kind that invited students to invent narratives while practicing proportion and perspective. Architectural details—a doorway, windows, and a circular wall element—frame the figures and hint at an urban setting without pinning it to a specific corner of Madrid. Even the tree trunk at the right edge becomes part of the composition, balancing the human interaction with a sense of place.

As a piece of historical school art, it offers more than charm; it reflects classroom culture, visual education, and the imaginative world of a young student. Readers interested in Spanish educational history, early 20th-century student work, or children’s drawings from Madrid will find plenty to linger over in the small decisions: posture, clothing, the patterned pavement, and the quiet story unfolding between the figures. Preserved and shared today, the drawing bridges institutional memory and personal expression in a single page.
