A la derecha, dos peldaños retranqueados de un banco, que aparece a continuación, hacia el fondo. A la izquierda, el pasillo se abre en ángulo recto hacia abajo. En su primer plano, a la izquierda, planta circular con líneas curvas a su alrededor.

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.
