Composition in tones earthy, gray, white, blue, rose and black. Smooth and watercolored texture in the figure. Black man kneeling with dead sheep on his lap. The figure is from the front, kneeling on the right leg and supported on the left, bent and turned to the right, fully tilted to the right head, leaning on oversized shoulder, holding with both hands in front of the body, a dead sheep, with paws up: with the on the right hand holds the hips of the ram and on the left his neck that hangs to the right and down. Arms and hands raised man and black line skirting the figures. Ground in earthy tones, rose band behind the man's legs and the rest of the white background.
