Shantytown

Composition in ochre, earthy, green, black, gray, blue and white tones. Predominant rough and smooth texture. Geometrized hills representing slums, working as background to a scene of musicians, a woman head-carrying a water bucket and a woman in the window of a shack. The characters have no defined facial features. In the foreground, in the center, a group of three musicians: one standing playing a tambourine and two sitting - the one on the left playing the guitar and the one on the right playing flute. To the left of the group, back facing, head-carrying a water bucket, long flowing straight hair and clothes represented as the Carajas indigenous, that is, two overlapping triangles. Between the woman and the musicians, an animal that looks like a black spiked hair cat and a poorly defined figure that appears to be a boy. Behind the musicians, forming a diagonal lower on the right corner to the center of the composition, a slum shack with a lean roof, where a woman is leaning on the window, to the right of the group. In the background, cut by the left edge of the support, another slum shack, with the a figure leaning against the door, his right arm raised. In the third level, the center, a shack with a lean to roof, further elevated than the others. In the background, hills geometrized in small rectangles representing slums. In the sky, a little left to the center, a crescent moon.
