About the piece
Created in 1910, this oil painting by the Spanish master Joaquín Sorolla depicts a scene in the town of Zarauz. Departing from his more famous sun-drenched beach scenes, Sorolla here explores a moodier, more atmospheric interior. The work is characterized by its confident, rapid brushstrokes and a sophisticated palette of deep browns, ochres, and grays that provide a grounding presence.
