Children Looking for Shellfish, Sorolla

The work painted during the last phase of the artist.

The theme of the painting is recurrent in the painter's work, in fact it was the main subject he developed throughout his career: children playing, bathing, and posing on the beach. The jovial and innocent character of the work becomes even stronger under the contrasts of light, ochre nuances, and brightness in all elements: rocks, children, and water.
