In this mystical work painted in 1910, the painter depicted Socorro Miranda, a young woman from Cordoba, wearing a black dress and mantilla (a silk scarf worn over the head and shoulders) brightened by the white of her cuffs and collar, that represents the mystic love. Her hands, inspired by her wife’s, Francisca Pellicer, are holding a missal.

The young woman is next to an open door lintel which leads to an imaginary square in which there are combined different buildings of Cordoba. In the center, there is a triumph of Saint Raphael walking around the lanterns of the Capuchin Square in Cordoba. In the background is located the Marquis of Fuensanta del Valle house and part of the fountain of Fuenseca. In the distance, it appears the riverside and the Visos at dusk.

In this painting, he takes the title from a Valle-Inclán book. He capture the purity and naivety of the protagonist, shepherdess Adega, on canvas.

The work from Julio Romero de Torres it is identified with Mr. Valle-Inclán literature in the way of showing formal qualities that appear in the painter of Cordoba. Romero de Torres shows an unknown Andalusia to the Spanish painting.

The canvas was on the back of the book “Andalucía” (Andalusia) from Francisco Villaespesa, poet born in Almería. He was a close friend and he dedicated him the first poem of his book in 1911.
