La India del lago, painted circa 1938, exemplifies the pictorial esthetic that Ramos Martínez sought in his Mexican oeuvre. Standing before the viewer, the flower carrier holds in her hand and on her head a bounty of flowers, the allegorical symbol of not only Spring personified, but also the symbol of hope and the cycle of life. Wearing a bold orange-red blouse, the sitter is by a rolling landscape that could be found in virtually any corner of Mexico. Behind her, in the distance, lies a lake. The ambiguity of the painting's specific location is as purposeful as its nationality. The goal that Ramos Martínez achieved was capturing the spirit of his homeland as well as that of the Mexica, who ruled prior to the arrival of the Spaniards.
