Pierrette Gargallo, a child at the time, acted as an improvised model for her father to model the forearms and hands of this placid figure, perhaps thematically related, due to relative proximity or coincidence of dates and if we think about the possible proximity of the sea, with four magnificent drawings at pastel, Nude lying on the beach, ca. 1930, Two bathers at the seashore, ca. 1930, Bather with red shoes, ca. 1930, and Bathers, 1932 (the latter belonging to the collections of the Pablo Gargallo Museum and included in this catalogue), with which the sculptor demonstrates once again his extraordinary skills as a draftsman and also a notable mastery of color.
