Title
Mulatto Woman
Description
Composition in green tones, earthy, ochre, gray, white, blue, black and yellow. Smooth and rough texture. Mulata sitting on bin occupying almost the entire area of support, against abstract background. The woman is facing, with his on the right hand at the time of the ear and the elbow on the right leg; fallen on the left hand between her legs, which are apart, and bare feet facing out. The figure is depicted with deliberate expressive deformation, both in body and in the face - large eyes separated from each other, flat nose, thick lips - and long hair falling behind. Background with areas of different colors in irregular shapes, especially a square shape divided into two rectangles in the upper on the left corner, and five horizontal black lines on the left at the time of the mulatto arm. Might falling from from the left to the right, forming sharp shadow area on the left side of the face of the mulatto.
