Title
Woman with Can on Head
Description
Composition in gray, ochre, earthy, green, white, rose, yellow, red, blue and violet. Rough texture, thick strokes and marked, scratched pictorial layer. Female figure against background in different colors. In the center of the composition, representation of women standing in front, with slightly back body to the right. Both figures as the fund received the same pictorial treatment: numerous strokes in different colors, interpenetrating and juxtaposing themselves. The woman is identifiable due to some boundary lines and colorful area suggesting volumes. No represented facial features, has over the head what looks like a can in white gray tint with brown outline. His on the right arm is raised, flexed elbow and hand holding the can. Face and features identifiable by a few contour lines in brown and concentration of earthy shades mixed with white and gray with violet tones. On the left arm down, a bit away from the body and hand seeming to hold, with the fingertips, dress skirt fabric. Sleeveless, long shins, loose, with some draping the skirt. Hips seem wide and bulky, thick and legs apart. Fund all worked with multicolored strokes, some broad, some thin and short and some risks.
