Jimenez paints a mermaid, draped on the rocks, looking out to the Mediterranean Sea with longing. Perhaps she is calling to a solitary sailor in the sailboat. The cobalt blue of the sea is only surpassed by the rich oranges languishing in the golden sun. The brilliance of the light is complemented by the shadows.A faux frame is painted on the canvas.
