Gastón Castelló Bravo (Alicante, 1902-1986) was the most popular Alicante artist of the 20th century: painter, muralist and poster designer, he thoroughly renewed the art of the Hogueras de San Juan. The drawing carries another composition on the reverse and appears to be a sketch for a larger work, probably a mural or a poster on a harbor theme.
