More about this artwork
"Pepilla the Gypsy and Her Daughter" is a captivating painting by Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla, created in 1910. The painting portrays two figures—a mother and her daughter—in a warm and intimate moment. Sorolla's brushwork brings out the textures of their vibrant clothing and the soft, ambient light that surrounds them.The mother is seated and looks directly at the viewer with a gaze that is both serene and penetrating. She is adorned in a richly patterned shawl and a white skirt speckled with dots, her posture relaxed yet poised. The daughter sits closely beside her, her expression more subdued and her eyes cast slightly downward, lending a contemplative air to her youthful face.Sorolla, renowned for his brilliant use of light and color, masterfully captures the cultural essence and personal dignity of his subjects with empathy and respect. The background, though muted, features hints of a lively setting that suggests the daily life and environment of the gypsy community.
