In art history, the composition of this painting is considered to be one of the most harmonious and at the same time original works by Frida Kahlo – it was the first picture by the artist from Mexico acquired by the Louvre during a successful exhibition in Paris. The beauty of the mestizo woman is attractive; her calm face with a thoughtfully deep gaze of beautiful eyes and the line that frames it, a pattern of decorative and fabulous flowers, large birds. Despite the various colour scheme, the picture is not overloaded with details.
