Antoni Ros portrayed multiple landscapes around the waters of the Ter River. This work is not dated but could have been made at the beginning of 1900, dates in which the painter portrayed
on several occasions similar scenarios of stagnant waters of the River Ter, such as Closes del Ter (1908) or Dusk (1905).

In full Modernism, this landscape becomes an idyllic, gloomy place, the fruit of mystery and melancholy. Ros i Güell also made sets for theater and other visual productions that can be considered precedents for cinema. Architectural project artist, his home is the design of the modernist establishment known as the Old Figueras House, currently the Escribà patisserie on the Rambla in Barcelona.
