Composition in black and white. Smooth contour lines and some shaded. Head portrait of Manoel Portinari Lion, a baby, occupying the center of the stand area. The pictured 3/4 is facing right. It has a round face, tousled hair, suggesting that they are very thin, broad forehead, slightly prominent, big round eyes turned to the right, small nose, and full lips closed and well rounded chin dimple in the center. The head is as if leaning on a pillow suggested by light shaded side of the head.
