Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida creates this masterpiece that showcases his skill in capturing light and everyday life. This painting belongs to the impressionist movement, characterized by the use of light and color to represent fleeting moments. Sorolla uses loose brushstrokes and a bright color palette to bring the scene to life, where women sew a sail under the intense sunlight. The work stands out for its realism and the artist's ability to capture the effects of natural light on fabrics and skin. "Sewing the Sail" reflects the influence of French impressionists on Sorolla, but also his ability to adapt these principles to Spanish life and culture.
