The "Sketch Portrait of Doña Elena Ortúzar" is a captivating artwork by the Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, renowned for his dexterous handling of light and shadow, particularly in his portraits and landscapes. This particular sketch serves as a preliminary study or an intimate portrayal of Doña Elena Ortúzar, who was the wife of the Chilean painter and Sorolla's friend, Aureliano de Beruete y Moret. The artwork is emblematic of Sorolla's skill in capturing the essence and personality of his subjects through swift, confident strokes and a nuanced understanding of light.

Created during the zenith of Sorolla's career, the sketch is an exemplar of the Impressionist influences that pervaded his work, characterized by its loose brushwork and the luminosity of its colors. Sorolla's ability to convey the texture of fabrics, the softness of skin, and the subtle expressions of his sitters is evident in this piece, despite its status as a sketch rather than a finished portrait. The work not only highlights Sorolla's technical prowess but also offers insight into his social circle, revealing the interconnected world of artists and intellectuals in early 20th-century Spain.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced in the early 1900s, a period during which Sorolla was deeply engaged in portraiture. The "Sketch Portrait of Doña Elena Ortúzar" remains a significant piece within Sorolla's oeuvre, offering a glimpse into his preparatory process and his ability to capture the fleeting nuances of character and mood. This work, like many of Sorolla's portraits, is celebrated for its vitality and the immediacy with which it communicates the personality of the sitter, making it a valuable study for those interested in the evolution of portrait painting in the context of Spanish Impressionism.
