About the work
In the museum's own words — in Spanish
En el centro del papel, busto femenino de frente, cubriéndose la cabeza con toca muy oscurecida. El dibujo presenta gran detallismo en los rasgos del rostro, proporcionando sombras y volúmenes.

“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.
