Made during the Painting course at the Fine Arts Superior School (1959-1966), this work is part of a group of compositions from the same period that present formal and material similarities and potentiate some of the principles that would characterise the work of Ana Vieira in the following years. With a body of work organized around a poetic discourse, where idea and image are transformed in space, the artist's work is marked by the desire to renounce the limitations of painting and by dualities: interior and exterior, presence and absence, to see and not to see, transparency and opacity.

In this work, a girl/doll is given an almost childish style, the planes overlapping in geometric and angular shapes, and the scraps of newspaper revealing news from the Azores (where the artist lived until she was nineteen years old), in a reference to juvenile memories. The artist explores the transparency of the image and the juxtaposition of planes through the collage of silk papers and newspaper fragments, activating the gaze of the spectator. The works of Ana Vieira can be pierced by the gaze, a constant characteristic that marks her artistic work since the very beginning.
