Description
Composition in yellow, gray, orange, green, blue, rose, earthy, ochre, white and black tones. Smooth and rough texture on the face of the figures. Dispossessed group occupying almost the entire area of the geometrized composition. The group is standing side by side and facing front, looking from the left to the right: boy with profiled head to the left, left arm in the air holding his hat and right holding a small cage; woman with dark hair, holding in her arms a baby wrapped in green cloth. In the center, man with brimmed hat, right arm holding the folded end of the stick of a possible bundle and the left along the body. To the right, two more figures: pregnant woman with hat pulled low on the head and left arm folded with hand on chest and a child, who seems to be a girl, with high crowned hat and left arm holding a hat. Figures have geometrical clothing and are barefoot. The ground is represented in orange tones with gray horizontal stripes and background in yellow tones, more geometrized on the left, green and ochre tones and, on the right, circular area in stronger yellow representing the sun.
