El Palleter ('The Straw Seller') was the popular name for Vicent Doménech, a native of the region of Valencia who was a celebrated fighter in the Peninsular War. The present work relates to Sorolla's monumental history painting of the same year, The Cry of 'El Palleter', which depicts Doménech's rallying cry for Valencians to stand up to Napoleon's armies (Valencia, Diputación: deposited in the Palau de la Generalitat). A statue dedicated to El Palleter by Emilio Caladín stands in Valencia.
