This refined table, the most refined version of an issue that he repeated on several occasions, is a reflection of his own summers in the french town of trouville-sur-mer (normandy) and shows the sophisticated environment that surrounded him. The elegant and stylized young woman is represented at the moment when she has abandoned reading to look at some point with her binoculars. The black color of these, as well as that of the umbrella that he carries, contrasts with the chromatic range in pastel tones that dominates the composition and that gives the work a delicate and precious character, enhanced by the type of quick brush stroke, with little pictorial material, reminiscent of the notes made plein air (text extracted from la belleza cautiva.
