The scene transmits the sensation of freshness with the minimum elements. It captures the luminous nuances of the foliage and the ground, creating an intimate and serene atmosphere. This type of compositions, centered in quiet corners of gardens or parks, reveal Meifrén's sensitivity towards everyday spaces treated with a poetic and luminous gaze.

Eliseu Meifrén i Roig was one of the main representatives of impressionism in Catalonia. He trained at the Llotja School in Barcelona and furthered his studies in Paris, where he came into contact with the modern currents of European painting.

He exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona and participated in numerous national and international competitions. His work is preserved in important institutions such as the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC), the Museo del Prado, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, as well as in numerous public and private collections.
