Joaquín SorollaSpanien, 1863–1923Må man se det?
Madrid, Spanien
Ejeren er kendt. Om det er udstillet i dag, siger museet ikke, og at gætte har vi ikke lært.
A la izquierda, figura de perfil a la derecha en cuclillas, con el brazo estirado hacia delante. A la derecha, girando el papel 90º, lo que podría ser el tronco de dos figuras femeninas, atavidas con batas de playa, con el agua hasta las rodillas.

1900
Grand Prix at the Paris Universal Exposition
“Sad Inheritance”, a huge canvas of crippled children bathing in the sea at Valencia under a monk’s supervision, brought Sorolla his greatest official recognition, the Grand Prix and a medal of honour, and his exhibit as a whole earned him nomination as a Knight of the Legion of Honour. After this picture he never returned to so overtly social a theme.
1901

The painting won the medal of honour at the National Exhibition in Madrid. Two of its luminous preparatory oil sketches Sorolla gave as gifts to the American artists John Singer Sargent and William Merritt Chase.
