Description
Composition in ochre, gray, earthy, green, yellow and blue. Rough texture and marked brushstrokes. Group of people, camels and goats with arid lanscape in the background. In the foreground, the center figure of a woman standing and facing without defined anatomical traits, except for the shins and feet, represented thin and painted green. Wears dark clothes and has a cloth covering his head, where there is a triangle, at face level, with two dark spots that suggest the opening for the eyes. On the left, the side and a little behind the woman, a camel standing, with the body in slight diagonal from the right to on the left and front to back. In the background, along the on the right bank of the composition, herd of goats and two female figures with the same costumes the first, with the front legs apart and his on the right arm raised, holding a sort of stick in hand. A little to the right from the center, a vertical beam, by a horizontal cut, suggesting a large cross. Representation of hills in the background; a kind of house on top of one of them, on the right; sun in the upper on the right corner.
