Figure with Burden
Candido Portinari1938
Projeto Portinari
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Composition in black and white. Smooth contour lines. Man carrying a burden, occupying the center of the support. You do not see representation of the trunk, only the almost erased lines of the object that carries on his back. He's standing back to back, leaning towards the bottom on the left. It seems to wear pants in the middle of the shins. Plain background.
