Thanks for persisting with this little mystery! Sorolla and the artist in question were indeed contemporaries, however the mystery painter was very well known for his paintings of gardens, whereas Sorolla tends to be remembered for his vigorous figure paintings, particularly plein air works at the seaside. Another hint if you want to play along: Majorca :) lotusgreen. Thanks for persisting with this little mystery!

Clue: Those middle distance white trees are almonds in blossom, and the cypresses on the left are found around the Mediterranean. Yes it's another darn' European. :) Any use?
