About the piece
Painted in 1909, this striking portrait by Joaquín Sorolla depicts Charles M. Kurtz, the founding director of the Albright Art Gallery. Sorolla's signature style is evident in the fluid, spontaneous brushstrokes and the brilliant handling of light, particularly in the crisp white of the shirt and the atmospheric, sketch-like background showing the museum's neoclassical architecture.
