The Beach Urchin

Joaquín Sorolla · 1891

The Beach Urchin is a painting by the Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla, painted in 1891.

A boy in a red jacket lies on the sand grinning beside a woman mending nets against the hull of a beached fishing boat, the sea behind — an early beach scene in Sorolla's darker Valencian palette.
