Alice Seymour Hooker Day Jackson (1872-1926), New York, acquired in 1909 at the New York exhibition. Private collection, Massachusetts. Private collection, US. LITERATURE The extraordinary color harmony that Joaquín Sorolla was able to capture in the water in the present work is representative of his understanding of color. The intermingled cobalt, teal, and azure of the water is brilliantly contrasted against both the vibrant warm hued rocks in the foreground and the pinkish tones of the steamer ships’ hulls and the distant Cabo de San Antonio, capturing the vibrance and depth of the composition with an astonishing economy of brushwork. The present work was exhibited by Sorolla in his 1909 exhibition at The Hispanic Society of America in New York, where it was bought by Alice Seymour Hooker Day Jackson, a grandniece of the antislavery novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe and granddaughter of the suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker. We are grateful to Blanca Pons-Sorolla for confirming the authenticity of this work, which is registered as no. BPS 3627 in the third volume of her forthcoming Joaquín Sorolla catalogue raisonné.
