More about this artwork

"Playing the Guitar (c. 1889)," a remarkable painting by the esteemed Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla, eloquently captures a private moment full of movement and melody. This artwork portrays two women in a rustic, sunlit room, deeply engrossed in the act of music-making. The woman on the right, clad in a flowing dress adorned with floral motifs, delicately strums a classical guitar. Her companion, wearing a white skirt paired with a vivid red shawl, listens intently, her posture reflecting engagement and enjoyment of the music.Sorolla's mastery in handling light breathes life into the scene, with subtle illuminations highlighting the intricate textures of their dresses and the surrounding tiles that frame them. The use of impasto, particularly in the white dress, adds a tactile quality to the painting, making the fabrics almost palpable.Set against a backdrop of a tiled wall and a nondescript wooden shelf that holds simple domestic items, the setting is a testament to the everyday surroundings in which beauty and art often flourish.
