JOAQUIN SOROLLA Y BASTIDA. Señora de Sorolla (Clotilde García del Castillo, 1865-1929) in Black

JOAQUIN SOROLLA Y BASTIDA. Señora de Sorolla (Clotilde García del Castillo, 1865-1929) in Black. Artist: Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (Spanish, Valencia 1863-1923 Cercedilla). Dimensions: 73 1/2 x 46 3/4 in. (186.7 x 118.7 cm). Date: 1906. Sorolla's wife Clotilde was his confidant, traveling companion, bookkeeper (or in his words, "my Treasury Minister"), and muse. In this portrait, set in their Madrid home, she poses as a Spanish beauty wearing a striking evening dress. Behind her is Sorolla's painting of a female saint, made during the first months of their marriage in 1888. At far right the artist depicted the edge of another canvas--a conceit recalling the work of seventeenth-century master and fellow countryman Velázquez. The present picture hung prominently in Sorolla's wildly successful 1909 exhibition at the Hispanic Society of America in New York, where the Metropolitan immediately acquired it.
