This work reveals the typical concerns of the painter; the anonymous stooping figure is expressed with rapid and spontaneous brushwork as her form blends into the overall composition. Contrasts of light and dark are repeated strongly in the distance. The glistening water, which throws back a reflection of the woman, records Ancheta’s added skill in the rendering of precise visual effects.
