Composition in tones earthy, ochre, white, black, red and green. Thick texture, rough and spatula. Composition representing woman kneeling and crying, occupying almost the entire stand area. The figure is defined by deliberate significant deformation. Faces, head 3/4 toward the on the right, has defined facial features and dark hair. Stocky trunk, on the right arm bent with hand holding something like a scarf, with which wipes the face. On the left arm with forearm horizontally and forth, holding her fingertips to dress skirt uses. The composition is all in shades of gray and ochre, like the dress of the figure and its members face and standing out from the rest. Spotted background in shades clear earthy.
