Original artwork description:

"It is said that that house was all white,
and of a lady who was never tired
it is said in the city that he had a flock at home
but I don't know if this story holds up
it grazed all the grass around it
and from there it was clear that it was a good morning
but since the lady went away
the house seems to have become haunted
a flock of birds always passes at that hour
as if the soul of the lady were right there, at that window, still…
a white lace umbrella left as a gift
to anyone who wants to pass by to stay a good day
to graze his poor hungry flock
that he had never been so alone
now it's raining on that old white house
and even the flock is now missing...
only the shouting in the wind can soothe
the memory of the old days that will never disappear"

We can notice a strong feeling of melancholy that the artist wants to convey with his work. The past time that is gone, but it is as if it were imprinted in his mind and, surfacing in the vivid memory of the images of a specific situation, he describes some moments of real life... They are fascinating even for the mere fact that they are no longer there, that they can no longer be reached... they can only return to his thoughts and be modulated according to his mood... idealised..
