Three men drag their nets over stony ground under a piled sky

Three fishermen work a long net across a stony brown field. The nearest carries a loop of it over his shoulder and arm, barefoot, in a red sash and yellow straw hat; a second gathers the net at the centre; a third bends to it at the left. Behind them a green strip of ground, a row of beached boats with furled white sails, and low white buildings run along the horizon under heaped grey-white cloud. 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.
