About the work
Museum text in Spanish
Apunte rápido y algo confuso, en el que se insinúa parte de un carrito de bebé a la izquierda, y tras él una figura barbada de perfil a la izquierda, que parece estar pintando, alargando el brazo hacia una superficie cuadrada. A la derecha lo que podría ser una figura esquemática, de cuerpo circular, con el pecho y brazos en forma semicircular y la cabeza rodeada por el ala del sombrero tipo capota con el que se toca. En la esquina superior derecha rasguños. En el reverso se ha copiado por contacto el dibujo nº Inv. 12814.

Galerie Georges Petit: nearly 500 works
A one-man show at the Galeries Georges Petit in Paris — figures, landscapes, portraits, early works and recent sun-drenched beaches — eclipsed all his earlier successes. His productivity amazed critics, the show was a financial triumph, and it brought him the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honour.

Meets Archer Huntington
Large exhibitions in Germany and London met with more restraint than the Paris show, but in England Sorolla met Archer Milton Huntington, who made him a member of the Hispanic Society of America in New York and invited him to exhibit there.
