Con le parole del museo — in spagnolo
Anverso: Niños en la playa Apuntes rápidos de varios niños corriendo. A la izquierda, arriba, una niña de espaldas con larga coleta. Bajo ella, una figura apenas esbozada, agachada, en posición de comenzar a correr. En el centro, otra figura corriendo, con los brazos extendidos y girando la cabeza. A la derecha, una niña con vestido y pelo a la altura de la nuca, de espaldas, tiene los brazos extendidos a ambos lados del cuerpo. Reverso: Caballo Vista de un caballo de perfil, aunque no se han terminado de dibujar la cabeza ni los cuartos traseros, quedando también las patas traseras sin representar.

Galerie Georges Petit: nearly 500 works
A one-man show at the Galeries Georges Petit in Paris — figures, landscapes, portraits, early works and recent sun-drenched beaches — eclipsed all his earlier successes. His productivity amazed critics, the show was a financial triumph, and it brought him the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honour.
1908
Meets Archer Huntington
Large exhibitions in Germany and London met with more restraint than the Paris show, but in England Sorolla met Archer Milton Huntington, who made him a member of the Hispanic Society of America in New York and invited him to exhibit there.
