The subject matter of this work is typical of the landscapes Souza painted during the 1960s with the distinctive haphazard juxtaposition of buildings, however the medium and treatment of the subject is unusual and belongs to a rare group of gouaches that Souza produced only during 1965. This group is characterized by a meticulous use of line and claritys of colour that contrasts greatly with his expressionist oils of the same period and is test.mes nt to the artist's talent and versatility.
