We are grateful to Blanca Pons Sorolla for confirming the authenticity of this work from a photograph.
The working life of the coastal communities of Valencia held a long-term fascination for Sorolla. Whilst on the beach it was the artist's practice to execute oil sketches of the life and scenery that surrounded him. These apuntes were executed in a very free style, capturing the immediacy of the moment with rapid brushstrokes.
