Small Ox with Figures
Description
Composition in light shades of gray, blue, ochre and earthy tones and black. Rough and smooth texture. It depicts two significant figures represented with deliberate lying Little Ox deformation and occupying the entire area of the support. The three figures are outlined in black. On the left, occupying more than half the area of the composition, an extremely fat woman sitting in front, his head turned to the left and up, with coarse facial features, embracing an ox that is ahead. The animal is lying on its paws, in profile to the left and with the head facing forward. The woman's on the right arm involves the animal's neck and the on the left is resting on its back. To the right of the composition, in front of the ox, a man standing on his back with the torso and head twisted and tilted to the left and the on the left hand on the scruff of the animal as if he were caressing. In the background, some grid lines forming.
