Portrait of João Candido
Description
Composition in the earthy tones, ochre (support), green, red, white and blue. Smooth, rough texture of the paint applied to the textured material, and support apparent contour lines. Boy portrait, occupying almost the entire area of the composition against background in dark tones. The boy is slightly turned to the left; has suggested light hair, facial features just indicated, blue on the left eye, small nose and lips closed. The body, suggested by dark outline suggests that the figure is using a very wide blouse in blue tones. He is standing with arms along the body seeing near the on the left hand three rounded red spots. At the bottom, thick ink strokes, sometimes leaving apparent and sometimes overlapping ink esponjada for creating texture support.
