About the work

In the museum's own words — in Spanish

En la esquina superior izquierda, busto femenino de perfil con la cabeza girada hacia nosotros. Tiene el brazo derecho levantado, sosteniendo frente a sus ojos unos prismáticos. Sobre la cabeza, adorno de tela o plumas. La figura está cortada por un trazo horizontal, lo que nos indica el borde de un palco de un teatro. En la zona inferior, rasguños. Sobre este dibujo, se ha copiado por contacto otro, que no hemos identificado dentro del cuadernillo, por lo que puede que se trate de una hoja arrancada y separada. Representa un busto femenino de perfil a la derecha y un rostro de perfil a la izquierda. En el reverso se ha copiado por contacto otro dibujo, que tampoco se ha identificado con otro dentro del cuadernillo. En este caso, representa una cabeza infantil vista girada de tres cuartos, que posiblemente se trate de un retrato de María, la hija mayor del artista.

The whole life

    “A Research”: the Prize of Honour in Madrid

    Two paintings linking art and science, “Portrait of Dr. Simarro at the Microscope” and “A Research”, won Sorolla the Prize of Honour at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. He showed his friend Simarro in the laboratory, catching the contrast between the reddish-yellow light of a gas burner and the weak mauvish light from the window.
