Over het schilderij
In de woorden van het museum — in het Spaans
Tres barcas, varadas en la arena, ocupan el primer término. A la izquierda y hacia el fondo, dos embarcaciones más. Delante de éstas últimas, una figura de espaldas. Otra figura sentada entre las barcas varadas.

Intussen, in het leven van Joaquín Sorolla
Het hele leven1900
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.
