The painter structures the scene using a synthetic and expressive stroke, related to the Art Deco current. The forms tend to a geometrizing essentialism. Due to its aesthetics, it is likely to be a work of the artist Carlos Sainz de Tejada, who was academically trained in the workshop of the artist Daniel Cortés, although he later continued his education at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid, completing his studies under the guidance of Master Sorolla and López Mezquita. During the Spanish Civil War he was head of the Graphic Section of Foreign Propaganda.
