A painted sculptural group, titled "Homenaje a Sorolla" by Mariano Benlliure, is depicted within the Museo de Bellas Artes de València, València, Spain. The central figure is a life-sized representation of a seated male artist, identifiable as Joaquín Sorolla, with a white beard and hair. He is dressed in a grey jacket and trousers, holding a paintbrush in his extended right hand and a painter's palette with bright colors in his left hand. A small grey cat-like figure rests near his left foot. Behind the seated artist is a large, irregularly shaped, painted relief panel depicting a dynamic scene with three women. The leftmost woman wears a white blouse, dark scarf, and a blue and purple skirt, looking to her left. The middle woman, partially obscured, carries a basket. The rightmost woman, in a light blue dress and headscarf, carries a bundle (possibly a child) and a basket. All three women appear to be on a beach with a blue sea and distant elements in the background, rendered in vibrant colors consistent with Sorolla's painting style. The entire sculpture rests on a dark, textured base against a plain, light beige wall. A small white speaker is mounted on the wall above the relief. To the right, a tall window with white horizontal blinds and a dark red vertical drape is visible. Artificial lighting casts a distinct shadow of the sculpture onto the wall to its left.
