This enigmatic oil on canvas painting from 1999 is a quintessential work by the prominent Venezuelan artist Carmelo Nino, who is celebrated for his unique fusion of Magical Realism and surrealism. The piece features a central female figure in a voluminous, textured blue garment and a distinctive puffed headpiece, rendered with the soft, ethereal light characteristic of Nino's dreamlike compositions. Set against a backdrop of stylized trees and background figures including a lady with a red umbrella, the work showcases the artist's fascination with theatricality and the reinterpretation of classical portraiture. Nino's mastery of tonal transitions and his ability to create a sense of silent mystery make this a significant example of late 20th-century Latin American contemporary art.

The artwork is in excellent contemporary condition with vibrant color saturation and a stable paint surface. The canvas is well-tensioned and free of visible repairs, losses, or significant craquelure. The minimalist wood frame shows only minor handling wear and remains structurally sound, providing a clean border that complements the sophisticated palette of the painting.
