In this painting, the only hint at human nature is the big, white isolated house set on a hill. The earth is reflected on the slightly rippled water surface which originates a myriad of golden glimmers. Leto completely gave up on urban scenes imbued with the sense of modernity, which had made his success with critics in Florence and Paris, and retrieved the themes connected to little towns by renovating the sentimental and evocative meanings in line with European Naturalism.
