Description
Composition in gray tones, earthy, white and black. Thick texture. Figure outlined in black and marked significant deformation. Woman holding four children in her arms, occupying almost the entire area of the composition. A woman sits facing the profile head to the left, revealing the face of despair; see each other's hands and on the right foot disproportionately large, secure in her lap four children, only two with defined facial features and looking forward. Background suggesting indoors.
