Joaquin Sorolla - Sewing the Sail [1896]

Most of the foreground of the painting is the white boat sail, which is spread between the people and extends far past the last lady. The sail appears to be lying on top of a brown fabric that is displayed on its sides. The people are in a floral courtyard with flowerpots, plants, and railing surrounding them. Sunlight can be seen coming through the railings and the plants onto the sail material and the people sewing. The most dominant colour in this painting is white, which is worn by most of the people depicted and the boat’s sail.
