This undated work held in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua belongs to the broader body of Zandomeneghi's output that entered northern Italian public collections during his lifetime or shortly after his death in 1917 — with the 1918 dates on some Wikidata records possibly reflecting posthumous registration or sale. The Palazzo del Te collection provides important institutional documentation of Zandomeneghi's reception in Italy, where despite his decades-long residence in Paris he remained a point of civic pride as a Venetian artist who had achieved recognition in the French capital. The undated nature of the work makes stylistic placement challenging, but Zandomeneghi's consistent approach to his characteristic subjects — women in interiors or gardens, soft light, warm palettes — means that period attribution matters less than for artists whose style evolved dramatically. His technique was relatively stable from the mid-1880s onward, refined but not radically altered.

Without dating, the work demonstrates the consistent technical qualities of Zandomeneghi's mature period: warm colour harmonies, Impressionist brushwork applied to figure subjects, and the balance between ambient light and local colour that defined his approach. The Impressionist vocabulary is deployed in service of intimate observation.
