Portrait of Dona Dominga and Baptista
Description
Composition in earthy, gray, ochre, green, rose and black tones,. Smooth texture. Composition representing couple sitting on a couch, against a plain background, occupying almost the entire area of the support, and the faces almost don't have defined facial features. On the left, a stout female figure sitting facing forward, turned slightly to the right. Her face has no marked facial features, and we perceibe only its form. She wears a dark V-necke dress and has her hands in her lap with a suggestion of intertwining. We see, after the skirt hem, which is quite long, ankle and foot painted in black. On the right, the man is sitting slightly forward, facing left. He has a face with some indicated facial features, wears suit with tie and black shoes. The couple is sitting side by side in two-seater sofa of rectilinear forms, and we see its back at the middle of the couple's back.
