Note in the long braids of the figure overlooking a vast pink and blue mountain landscape, and a female figure with basket atop her head, wears a silk ribbon decorated long skirt traveling from a shaded pathway. The landscape clearly issuing palms, crawling vines, and equatorial vegetation. Provenance: Property of a South Texas Collector.
