Captured a moment of quiet solitude on a peaceful road. Sometimes, the journey itself is just as beautiful as the destination.

This oil on canvas coastal scene was painted during the summer of 1906 from the Miramar Beach in Biarritz, where Joaquín Sorolla and his family spent many summers. A woman, probably his wife Clotilde García del Castillo, is preparing a camera, seated on a canvas lying on the sand with the sea waves in the background. The camera she is holding in her hands could be the Kodak "Folding Pocket No. 0", the smallest Kodak pocket camera in existence to date, marketed as a luxury item in 1902. This painting is closer in execution and subject matter to those of the Impressionist painters, more elegant and the tones of his palette softened, on this occasion becoming more silvery. In 1906, Sorolla enjoyed great critical and financial success at his first solo exhibition in Paris, from where he returned steeped in French painting. The work has been identified as various names over the years including "Capturing the Moment" and "Instantánea." It reflects both the photographic quality and the rapid, almost sketch-like technique Sorolla uses in this painting. Sorolla grew a reputation for beach scenes, which he painted endlessly, and had an uncanny ability to capture the effects of blazing Mediterranean sunlight. Many of these pictures, often large canvases, were executed en plein air, as evidenced by the grains of sand embedded in their densely painted surfaces. Biarritz was once a whaling town inhabited by a few hundred people. It was described in 1843 by Victor Hugo as a “charming and beautiful place;” however, at the same time he shared his grave fear “that it would become fashionable” And, yes, it soon became fashionable, beginning with the construction of the palace of Eugénie de Montijo, wife of Napoleon III, in 1854. Suddenly, Biarritz was a popular place not only for royalty, but also with legends like Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, and, of course, Joaquin Sorolla.
