Orsola Ghetti Baldi, in the description of the work drafted in 1997, highlighted the <<suggestive layout reminiscent of Gaetano Previati's style, given the lilies and the mystical pose of the woman wrapped in fluid garments>>. However, continued Orsola Ghetti Baldi in her notes, <<the Previatesque model is reseen and corrected by means of a synthetisation: we are not seeing a completely fluid painting where the lines of the drawing even succeed in emulsifying the figures and the landscape in a fascinating arcane fusion; here contours are not only blurred, but are underlined, even if only by an extremely delicate stroke; the background then becomes the main decorative independent element in relation to the figure in the foreground, recalling even Bistolfi's willowy women-angels. Everything comes together in a chromatic scheme of pastel tones, which are very suited to the symbolic romantic languor of this scene>>.
Claudio Spadoni, in the catalogue of the show held in Ravenna in 2007, commented on this work, defining it <<of a diffuse, intense pink and an elegance, a lightness that is more Nabis than Art Nouveau, given that Baccarini knew the painting of those young artist bewitched by the Gauguin's period in Brittany about fifteen years before>>.
