Over het werk
In de woorden van het museum — in het Spaans
En primer plano, una mujer de espaldas, ligeramente hacia la izquierda, sentada en una silla de respaldo alto. Lleva vestido de manga corta, y el pelo recogido, con la cabeza descubierta. A su derecha, una mujer de perfil, muy abocetada, indicándose el volumen y el vestido por fuertes y nerviosos trazos con el lápiz. Al lado de esta mujer, el busto de un hombre que vemos casi de frente, con lentes. Todo el fondo alrededor del hombre y el perfil de la primera mujer está muy ennegrecido con el lápiz, destacando los rostros levemente sombreados.

Through the provinces of Spain to paint from life
Huntington had envisioned a history of Spain; Sorolla preferred a “Vision of Spain” and finally images of the regions of the peninsula, “The Provinces of Spain”. He painted all but one of the huge canvases en plein air, travelling to Navarre, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, Elche, Seville, Andalusia, Extremadura, Galicia, Guipúzcoa, Castile, León and Ayamonte and posing models in local costume.
