Om værket
Med museets ord — på spansk
Dibujo preparatorio para el panel Navarra. El concejo del Roncal, mostrando en el anverso, dos figuras masculinas de medio cuerpo ataviadas con el traje popular roncalés. En el lado opuesto, otras dos figuras femeninas de espaldas, bailando. En el reverso, y aprovechando el resguardo de una sombrerería, aparecen cuatro figuras de pie agrupadas en círculo, hablando entre ellas, amigablemente.

Hele livet1911
Contract with Huntington for a series on Spain
In Paris Sorolla signed a contract with the American magnate and patron Archer Huntington for a series of paintings on life in Spain. The major commission of his career, it dominated his last years.
early 1911
Second US visit: St. Louis and Chicago
Sorolla visited the United States a second time and showed 152 new paintings at the Saint Louis Art Museum and, a few weeks later, 161 at the Art Institute of Chicago.
1911–1919
Through the provinces of Spain to paint from life
Huntington had envisioned a history of Spain; Sorolla preferred a “Vision of Spain” and finally images of the regions of the peninsula, “The Provinces of Spain”. He painted all but one of the huge canvases en plein air, travelling to Navarre, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, Elche, Seville, Andalusia, Extremadura, Galicia, Guipúzcoa, Castile, León and Ayamonte and posing models in local costume.
