A baroque fountain block mirrored in still green-brown water

A carved stone plinth topped with a marine group in grey-green stands at the centre right, set against a warm apricot retaining wall that runs the width of the canvas. Below, the basin holds the whole wall again in long horizontal strokes of ochre, olive and rust, with dark green weed drifting through it and one pale ribbon of reflected light at the left. A grey stone kerb closes the bottom right corner. 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.
