[2] The painting is a child portrait of the painter's son, Joaquín Sorolla García.

The portrait is made brighter by the colourful grey, mauve and light brown curtain in the background.

He had produced many portraits of his family before, such as of his wife, Clotilde García del Castillo and even his ancestors.

His son Joaquin also appears, for example, in the portrait Mi familia along with his wife Clotilde and his daughters María and Elena.

[3] Another portrait of his son was Joaquín Sorolla García y su perro.
