About this postcard
The painting shows a group gathered in Navarra, a province in northern Spain. Men in dark robes with white collars stand on a stone-paved square, one holding a tall banner, while women in white head coverings kneel or sit to the right. Stone buildings and a checkered banner fill the background. The banner and the kneeling women suggest a religious or civic ceremony. Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida painted Navarra for the Hispanic Society of America's Vision of Spain, a cycle of regional scenes that recorded the dress and customs of Spain's provinces in the early 20th century.
