Sull’opera
Con le parole del museo — in spagnolo
Anverso: Estudio de composición A la derecha, una figura, parece que femenina, de perfil que avanza hacia la izquierda. Tiene los brazos levantados, como lamentándose, avanzando hacia unos rasguños en la zona inferior. Tras ella, un rectángulo que seguramente indique una ventana. El dibujo es nervioso y rápido, con grandes rayas y muy esquemático. Reverso: Estudio de figura Figura de espaldas, representada casi de cuerpo entero, le falta parte de las piernas. Parece que tiene la cabeza inclinada hacia la izquierda, y con el brazo derecho levantado.

“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.
1900
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.
