Title
Tiradentes
Description
Composition in black and white. Contour lines. Study divided into six scenes representing the dismemberment and execution of Tiradentes. The scenes are divided by vertical and oblique lines in the height of the stand and the figures are defined by contour lines. The first scene has four groups of people queued in front. In the second scene, two groups face forward and are more defined and two groups are suggested in the background; the first group of people is facing back in perspective to the right; the center group faces forward, and a figure holds another, standing in front; in the background of the scene, on the right, wall with a window grid. In the third scene, representing the gallows, we see the hanged figure, surrounded by a crowd, especially, on the right, two women kneeling, the one in the back hugging the on in front, who stands with arms raised. In the fourth scene, dismembered body on the gallows with his head suggested, facing front, and crowd around. In the fifth scene, four poles in perspective from the left to the right and front to back, holding the four parts of the body; on the ground, plant tuft and mountains in the background. In the sixth scene, on the right, a person with baby in arms, behind two embraced people, a pole with head stuck at the end and, on the right, a group of people standing, some suggesting to be with arms stretched toward the head hanging on the pole.
