A wicker armchair sits in the foreground at the right, its pale surface catching the sunlight that filters through dense foliage overhead. Behind the chair, a low white wall runs horizontally, punctuated by two vertical columns that rise toward the upper edge of the canvas. The upper part of the composition is dominated by lush, overlapping branches, painted in deep greens and ochres, with swift, expressive brushwork conveying the density and movement of foliage.

Paint is applied with visible, energetic strokes, especially in the depiction of leaves and flowers, giving the surface a lively, textured quality. No human figures are present, but the arrangement of garden furniture and the suggestion of a lived-in space evoke a sense of quiet domesticity. The upper left corner of the painting is filled with pale, silvery leaves that contrast with the darker greens elsewhere in the canopy.

In the background, the pale facade of the house is visible, with columns and rectangular windows painted in soft lavender and cream tones. The paving stones in the lower left foreground are loosely defined, with patches of sunlight creating a dappled effect across their surface. The right edge of the canvas is dominated by deep, shadowy greens that suggest the dense overhang of trees or shrubs.

Sunlight falls unevenly across the scene, illuminating the tops of the hydrangea blossoms and the chair, while casting the area beneath the foliage into cool shade. The Gardens at the Sorolla Family House was created by Joaquín Sorolla in 1920, depicting the garden of the artist’s own residence, now the Museo Sorolla. According to the Sorolla Museum, the scene shows the garden of Sorolla’s house, with a wicker armchair to the right and flowering shrubs in the foreground, while the exterior of the building can be glimpsed behind. The painting forms part of the founding legacy of the Museo Sorolla, and is listed in the museum’s collection under the title Jardín de la Casa Sorolla.
