About the piece
In this 1917 work, Joaquín Sorolla captures the restless energy of the sea at San Sebastián with his signature mastery of light and texture. The composition depicts small, contemplative figures dwarfed by the scale of the earth-toned coastal hills, rendered with the confident, loose brushwork characteristic of the artist's mature period.
