Playing the Guitar
c. 1889
Step into a quiet Spanish interior where two women share a musical moment, surrounded by walls of intricate blue-and-white tiles. The woman in the foreground, draped in a vibrant red shawl and a massive white skirt, leans back with a relaxed elegance, completely captivated by her friend playing the guitar. Created around 1889, this piece shows a younger Sorolla exploring traditional customs, hinting at the Luminist master he would become famous for his sun-drenched beach scenes. The loose, fluid brushstrokes suggest a watercolor study, capturing the fleeting, intimate atmosphere of a private afternoon concert.
