Sobre la obra
En primer término, un banco visto de espaldas en diagonal hacia la izquierda, donde se sienta una figura. Frente a ella, la reja del locutorio de un convento, tras la cual se ve una sombra. A la izquierda, un pequeño vano en la pared, quizás se trate del torno.

Mientras tanto, en la vida de Joaquín Sorolla
La vida entera1900
Grand Prix at the Paris Universal Exposition
“Sad Inheritance”, a huge canvas of crippled children bathing in the sea at Valencia under a monk’s supervision, brought Sorolla his greatest official recognition, the Grand Prix and a medal of honour, and his exhibit as a whole earned him nomination as a Knight of the Legion of Honour. After this picture he never returned to so overtly social a theme.
1901
A medal of honour in Madrid for “Sad Inheritance”
The painting won the medal of honour at the National Exhibition in Madrid. Two of its luminous preparatory oil sketches Sorolla gave as gifts to the American artists John Singer Sargent and William Merritt Chase.
