A lateen sail fills the sky as the boat pulls out over gold-lit water

A single lateen sail, warm tan against a pale sky, leans across the whole upper canvas; below it a black hull with a red underbody cuts forward through shallow water. Two fishermen crouch at the bow, one in a red cap and a blue-checked shirt. The sea is worked in short strokes of turquoise, gold and violet, the ochre reflection of the sail running back beneath the boat. 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.
