Composition in gray, ochre, earthy, black, white, blue, green, red. Rough texture and marked brushstrokes. Beach with vultures, child rearing parrot and boat on the sea. On the left foreground, on the sand, vultures huddled as if they were attracted to carrion. On the right child standing back, prancing red kite. He has dark hair and legs and wears short blue overalls, long sleeve. He is standing with arms raised in the air, holding the kite line with his on the left hand. In the background, the sea with waves and small boat viewed from the side. Over the sea, six vultures. In the background, the skyline and gray cloudy sky.
