This piece suggests, firstly, the naturalistic affiliation of its author, trying to adapt the academic values to the diversity of thematic situations, arising from the desire to overcome the restricted iconographies of classicism.In this case the young woman defiles a marigold, melancholy metaphor of the desired or lost love perhaps. However, the profile and hairstyle of Hellenizing suggestion, the partial nude and the drapery treatment are deliberate markings of a timeless classicism that the prosaic presence of the support seat of one of the feet does not arrive to naturalize. In fact, Simões de Almeida remains faithful to an aesthetic of deviation, interpreting in a very sentimental way, with his own mannerisms, the academic canons without adding new plastic values to them, not even those derived from an attention to the diversity of the real.
