Four sleepers in white lying in acid-green and yellow grass

Four women lie asleep on the grass, seen from above and set at angles across the canvas in white and cream dresses; one has red-gold hair, another turns her face up with dark hair spread beneath her. The grass around them is painted in hard yellow-green and deep bottle green with almost no half-tone, and the shadows of the figures run through it in blue-black. Signed and dated 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.
