Composition in black and white. Quick straight, short and tangled lines. Tree representation, skull ox and scarecrow amid undergrowth, arid vegetation. To the right of center, leafless tree, seeing only the branches; near the tree on the right, small elevation of the earthy. To the left, steer skull, facing on the ground. Emerging from the tangle of lines that form around the dark area. Spread toward the composition of the background, stylized pita feet and undergrowth suggested by angular lines, straight and zigzag. In the third plane, on the left, scarecrow stuck in post. At the bottom, the horizon and sky represented by the horizontal and oblique lines.
