A woman and a child climb the red rocks above a deep blue sea

A woman in a white blouse and a long olive-gold skirt steps up over the rocks, reaching back to take the hand of a girl in a white dress and a straw hat trimmed with red. The foreground rocks are painted in dense red-browns and violet; behind them the sea is a flat deep blue, and an ochre headland runs across the top of the canvas and catches the sun at the right. Signed at the lower right.

Joaquín Sorolla (1863–1923) was the painter of Spanish sunlight. From the 1890s he worked on the beaches of Valencia, painting bathers, fishermen, sails and children in the surf with a broad, rapid touch that caught the glare of the Mediterranean, and his exhibitions in Paris, London and New York made him one of the most celebrated painters of his day. His last great work was the Vision of Spain for the Hispanic Society of America. His paintings are held by the Museo Sorolla in Madrid, the Prado and the Hispanic Society.
