À propos de l’œuvre
Selon le musée — en espagnol
Escena en un parque. En primer término, tronco de árbol. Detrás, semioculto por él, una figura masculina con bombín sentada en un banco de piedra sin respaldo. A la izquierda, otras tres figuras sentadas, una de perfil a la izquierda y las otras dos de espaldas. Al fondo a la derecha se insinúan otras dos figuras, quizás paseando. En la parte superior rasguños.

Pendant ce temps, chez Joaquín Sorolla
La vie entière1900
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.
