Parasols open on pink rocks above a deep blue sea

Pink and apricot rock fills the whole foreground in thick, blocky strokes. On the ledge above, a woman in dark blue sits with a child, a white parasol open behind her and a second figure in a wide blue hat beside them; a girl in a white dress and a straw hat stands in the water at the left, and a yellow straw hat lies on the rock at the right. The sea beyond is dark blue, broken by white where it washes the stone. Signed and dated at the lower left.

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.
