Sus hijos a caballo - equestrian portraits of his children, by Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida


Elena y María, con trajes valencianos antiguos, 1908. The artist's two daughters.
Grupa Valenciana - the artist's children, Joaquín and María, dressed in traditional Valencian costume, 1906.

Painter Julio Vila y Prades was an assistant in Sorolla's workshop from 1893 to 1904. I don't know whether he painted this cropped version of the same 1908 composition of Sorollo's children at the same time as his fellow artist or as a later copy.
