Signed in the upper left corner. Measurements: 107 x 81 cm; 129 x 103 cm (frame). Outstanding direct disciple of Joaquín Sorolla, with whom he studied in Madrid, and also son-in-law of the master, Francisco Pons approached a wide thematic in his work, which includes the landscape, the flowers, the portrait and other subjects of figure, mainly those of costumbrista type. He especially stood out as a portraitist, thanks to his ability to delve into the psychology of his models, which he knew how to transfer to his canvases. In addition, his female portraits are characterized by their beauty, sometimes derived from the influence of Art Nouveau. After finishing his training, Pons made trips to Tangier and Brazil. In the latter country he participated in the National Exhibitions held in Rio de Janeiro, being awarded a silver medal in 1911 and a gold medal in 1912. He finally returned to Madrid, where he married María Sorolla in 1914 and began working in the studio of his father, Joaquín Sorolla. Collaborating with his master, he had the opportunity to undertake important commissions such as the portrait of King Alfonso XIII, which allowed him to make his way as a portraitist of the nobility and the high bourgeoisie of Madrid. Later his works were also exhibited in New York, Havana, Chile and Argentina. In Cuba he held two exhibitions, one in 1911 and the other in 1915. His fame allowed him to hold important exhibitions in Spain, among which stand out the one held at the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid in 1928 and the individual exhibition held at the Salón de Fiestas del Ayuntamiento de Valencia in 1942. He also participated in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1943, 1945 and 1948 and in Barcelona in 1944, as well as in the Hispano-American Biennial of 1955. Works by his hand are currently preserved in the Prado Museum (work attached to the MNCARS and on deposit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Badajoz), as well as in various important private collections, both Spanish and foreign. It presents slight Repainting on the pictorial surface and a crack in the canvas.

Francisco Pons Arnau was one of Joaquin Sorolla's main disciples, also becoming his son-in-law when he married his daughter Maria de Sorolla. Although landscapes abound in his production, he also cultivated portraiture, developing in this genre a type of work of great sensuality and exquisiteness that links him to Modernism and Art Deco. An example of this is this beautiful canvas of The Wench of the Pitcher, in which the painter demonstrates his interest in the treatment of light and the brightness of colors, achieving transparencies and enamelled surfaces that show the influence of Symbolism. His canvases of female figures, as defined by the chronicles of the time, have a character of “modern worldliness” but, in this case, the chic woman disappears and the protagonist is a young racial woman with a deep and disturbing gaze, much closer to the symbolist aesthetic. As in most of his production, in this work he demonstrates his skill in representing things, their “qualities”, as can be seen in the shiny and enameled texture of the jug that the girl holds, and also the type of lighting. modern “Valencian style”, in which the silhouette of the female model is silhouetted against the whitewashed wall in the background. Measurements: 76 x 70 cm.
