Title
Boy with Kite
Description
Composition in tones earthy, blue, gray, orange, red, green and rose. Smooth texture with strokes marked on the boy and sheep. Boy playing with kites, sheep behind, in clearing earthy with hills and moon in the background. The boy sitting on the floor, a little on the left of center, with his head down, straight hair combed forward, legs apart, holding with both hands a few kites that are on the floor between her legs. The boy's clothing, orange and red, is indicated by marked strokes that form geometrism and his arms and legs represented in rose. Sheep is lying behind the boy, with the profile body to the right, front legs and head facing forward and twisted to the left, as if looking toward the kite. Drop shadows of sheep's legs and the boy's legs. Flat earthy with mountains on the horizon, bright blue sky and sun represented in green in the upper on the right half of the composition.
