From Sotheby's:
The centre is naturalistic in feel and highly focused on the nuances of the lady fishing in profile to the artist. However, as a whole the composition is intentionally transient, with spontaneous brushstrokes to the edges of the picture plane serving to focus the viewer on the subject. This is both a highly efficient method of encouraging the viewer into the work and a delightful example of Gonzáles's sureness of touch that places her amongst the most progressive female painters of her generation.
