The Morphine's Girl, Santiago Rusiñol (1894)
In 1894, during his third and last trip to in París, Santiago Rusiñol painted two very similar canvases whose protagonist was a very thin and sickly girl. La medalla shows a girl sitting on her bed, looking at a small shiny object she is holding in her hands. In La morfinòmana, the model – who seems different to the previous one – is lying on the bed under the effects of the morphine she has taken.
