A large, vertically oriented oil painting titled "La Mosca" (The Fly) by Cecilio Plá Gallardo (c. 1897-1900) is prominently displayed on a light gray wall within a museum. The painting is encased in an ornate gold frame and illuminated by overhead spotlights. The artwork depicts a smiling woman with fair skin and light brown hair, wearing a dark, high-collared dress and a dark, tall, decorative hat. She is shown from approximately the mid-torso upwards, positioned centrally, peeking from behind two light-colored, intricately patterned curtains which she appears to hold open with her hands. Her facial expression is cheerful and engaging. The artist's signature, "Cecilio Pla," is visible in the lower right corner of the canvas. To the right of the painting, a white informational plaque provides details: "CECILIO PLÁ GALLARDO (1869-1934)", "La Mosca" (The Fly), "c. 1897-1900, óleo sobre lienzo" (oil on canvas), and notes that it is "Cedido por la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos" (Lent by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos). This indicates the painting is located at the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia, in Valencia, Spain.
