Senora de Sorolla (Clotilde Garcia del Castillo, 1865-1929) in Black

Artist: Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida
Artwork: Senora de Sorolla (Clotilde Garcia del Castillo, 1865-1929) in Black
Description: This portrait of the artist’s wife, Clotilde Garcia del Castillo, is a somber and introspective work. Sorolla has depicted his wife in a black dress, with her hair pulled back and her face turned away from the viewer. The only light in the painting comes from a small window on the left side of the canvas, which illuminates her face and shoulders. The overall effect is one of mystery and intrigue, as the viewer is left to wonder what is going on in the woman’s mind.
