The painting of this Catalan artist, mainly focused on landscapes and seascapes, was connected to Naturalism, a movement dominated by a faithful depiction of reality.

Baixeras employed a delicate and meticulous language, using light and colour to masterfully capture the essence of nature, truthful and at once imbued with a melancholic tone.

Although he has been largely considered a landscape painter, he also created figurative compositions. In his portraits, he tried to capture the essence of the individual. In this oil painting, the artist represents his wife standing like a grand lady in the framework of a landscape nuanced by the evening light. Here nature is merely the backdrop for a composition dominated by the human figure. The woman is dressed soberly, in consonance with the dictates of late nineteenth-century fashion, with a jacket and a skirt, enlivened only with the warm colours of her hat. She is shown in a placid posture, slightly turned in three-quarters with her left leg forward. Her arms rest on her skirt, while she holds in her hands a closed parasol, an indispensable element to protect her skin from the sun. Her bearing and her gaze, staring out at the viewer, express a sense of complicity between the model and the painter, who has succeeded in capturing her mysterious personality with great lyricism.
