Ona Staderada, also known as The fruit seller, ascribable to 1891, reveals a clear palette, almost diaphanous in its dazzling brightness, the brushstroke that alternates dividing areas with more freely conceived areas, as well as the vigor of the composition, set on a figure capable of dominating the surrounding space with an imposing physical and psychological presence. The little fruit seller, with a peremptory act in her simplicity, raises the scales aloft, while neither the blinding sun nor traces of servile reverence manage to avert her gaze. The protagonist definitively moves away from the many previous Longonian images of lovely little girls. A bold work with a strong visual impact, it owes its marked delicacy to a lively and dynamic sign that is never equal to itself: harmonized on the ranges of ocher and blues juxtaposed to determine a light of mother-of-pearl, the touch is fringed on the wall of bottom in a dense and orderly rain of minute strands diagonally oriented to enhance the line of the raised right arm, crumbles into the blond chignon and rosy complexion, finally dissolves into wider and more free gestures in the lower part of the canvas.
