About the work
In the museum's own words — in Spanish
Anverso: Pasillo en perspectiva A la derecha, una pared en perspectiva hacia el fondo. Parece que frente a ella hay otra pared y el pasillo que queda entre ambas se ha cubierto por una forma más o menos abovedada. La pared que mejor vemos, la de la derecha, tiene un zócalo rectangular y sobre él, formas rectangulares o cuadradas que no sabemos si obedecen al marco de alguna decoración o a ventanas. Reverso: Rasguños sin identificar. En la zona superior, a la derecha, parece que se ha dibujado una gorra con visera de perfil a la derecha.

Meanwhile, in the life of Joaquín Sorolla
The whole life1885
A four-year grant to study in Rome
Having completed his military service, the twenty-two-year-old Sorolla received a grant from the Spanish Academy in Rome for four years of study in Italy. In Rome he was welcomed by the academy’s director, Francisco Pradilla, in whose example the young painter found stability.
1885
Paris: his first encounter with modern painting
A long stay in Paris gave him his first exposure to modern painting; he was especially struck by exhibitions of Jules Bastien-Lepage and Adolph von Menzel. Back in Rome he studied with José Benlliure, Emilio Sala and José Villegas Cordero.
1888
Returns to Valencia to marry Clotilde
Sorolla returned to Valencia to marry Clotilde García del Castillo; by 1895 they had three children — María, Joaquín and Elena.
