Federico Molina Albero was dedicated preferably to the painting of still lifes and to the feminine figure. On this occasion the artist shows a woman who adopts a seated posture, although almost her entire body is represented. Dressed in colorful clothes, the vessel she carries stands out, in which the artist shows his artistic ability, configuring a piece full of brightness in which even the turning of the clay can be appreciated. Although the artist does not create a completely defined face, a beautiful woman with strong features, expressive gaze, dark hair and dark complexion can be sensed. The woman is placed in front of a neutral background, in greenish tones, painted with spontaneous brushstrokes that create a vibrant surface. In the clothes the painter has used long and expressive brushstrokes, in which he demonstrates great skill in the use of color. In the faces, the painter works in a more meticulous manner, without renouncing the expressiveness and fluidity of his brushstrokes.
