Composition in black and white. Contour lines, overlapping and shaded lines. Composition representing It depicts with two women sitting and child amid geometrical areas, seeing if bauzinho tinplate and ajar bag; marks along the side margins suggesting design for expansion. Space is suggested by cuttings in perspective to the bottom, which together with the stains suggest what would be a harbor pier. To the left of center, robust woman figure, sitting opposite, with hair and suggested facial features, arms resting on ajar and barefoot legs. To his on the left ajar bag. To the right of center, seated woman, almost on her back with her hair tied at the nape and using full skirt. More forward, on the right bauzinho tinplate. Further back and in the center of the composition, child-headed suggestion.
