He painted a piece of a mixture of colors and simplicity in this composition. The special feature in this canvas is the female model, his sister, who appears only from the back and we can t see her face. We would think that she is contemplating the landscape, the same as the onlooker when he contemplates this painting. This is a canvas in which Dal tries to make an attack on cubism, in this style which he adorns with his special characteristics. The background is flat and real, onto which a shadow is projected which is reflected in the shape of a harlequin.
Light divides the picture in two diagonal parts with colorist contrasts.
Another pseudo-cubist picture of the same period. Dal can t escape including absolutely real objects, even if he only draws the lines. The still life, situated in the centre, is formally cubist, but the scene is painted in a figurist style and justifies the position of the table, the houses, the sea and the moon.
