Mercedes del Val Trouillhet was a painter from Valladolid who began her training very young (first lessons at the age of seven, directed from Madrid by her teacher Timoteo Pérez Rubio). After the Civil War, he went on to study with the great cartoonist and poster designer José Picó Mitjans (1904-1991). From the beginning of his career he dealt with the theme of landscape, especially Castilian, and showed his work in several exhibitions (Valladolid in 1947, later Madrid, Córdoba, etc.). He also received several awards (Silver Medal at the XXIX Salon d'Automne in Madrid in 1957...) and his painting is preserved in several private collections and in institutions such as the Museum of the University of Valladolid.
