Oil on canvas painting, featuring still life of vase, coffee mug and a cup. Signed and attr. Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (Spain, 1863-1923) on bottom right corner. 19.5 x 15.5 inch (49.53 x 39.37 cm). Born in Valencia in 1863, he began his artistic studies in 1877 with sculptor Cayetano Capuz and later studied at the Fine Arts Academy in San Carlos. From a young age he was interested in open-air painting, with which he tried to capture Mediterranean lighting, both in the farmlands of Valencia and on the beach, just as the French Impressionists did. He finished his education in Paris and Rome. After returning to Spain in 1890, he settled in Madrid and began a trajectory marked by success, awards and important positions. Among his preferred subjects are Levantine waterfront scenes, always with human presence and expressed with an absolute prominence of light. He died in Madrid in 1923.
