Über das Werk
In the museum's own words — the original
En primer plano, una mujer casi de espaldas a nosotros, con amplio sombrero adornado en la banda con elementos en color azul, y un adorno, seguramente de tela, que sobresale en la parte trasera. Sólo le vemos el mentón, estando toda la cara tapada por el sombrero. Parece estar hablando al hombre situado en segundo plano, que inclina la cabeza como para escucharla. Ambos están representados hasta la altura del pecho, en un primer plano muy cercano a nosotros, ocupando casi la totalidad de la cartulina.

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.
