Visconti's view of this church from the balcony of the facade of his studio on Av. Mem de Sá, 60 in Rio de Janeiro.
Detached brushstrokes, mainly visible in the sky, stand out against the white wall of the church façade, directly lit by sunlight, with large amounts of paint.
Behind the roof in the foreground, the dark mass of the treetops rises to the top right corner, in stark contrast to the brightness of the church, against the also dark sky.
