Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida’s ’Female Nude’ (1902) pays homage to Diego Velázquez, showcasing Sorolla’s engagement with Spanish art history. Created in his Madrid studio, it exemplifies his meticulous observation and dynamic process. Sorolla’s style, marked by apparent ease, involved extensive preparatory sketches and on-canvas adjustments. This work offers insight into Sorolla’s artistic ambition during a vibrant phase of his career.
