Desnudo de mujer (1902)
This picture is by Spanish impressionist Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923) who was best known for his bright sunlit landscapes and beach scenes. He studied in Madrid and Rome and had a great success at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900. A very productive painter, he was financially very successful. His widow left many paintings to the Spanish state and they are exhibited in his old home in Madrid. This is a full on boudoir effort, very different from some of his social themed pieces and atypical in many ways but, none the less, magnificent in its handling of pink satin.
