Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Composition in black and white. Contour lines, quick strokes. Two human heads on white background. To the right of center, man's head almost 3/4 facing left, with representation from virtually erased hair, except for a few traces near the lightly sketched ear. Straight eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes just outlined, outlined nose, lips closed, part of the rounded chin suggesting square face, outlined just on the left. To the left of this head, a little behind and half-concealed by the first repetition of this in another position: 3/4 on the left and without hair.
