Costumbrist scene that uses few descriptive elements in the composition. The setting features a large old gate attached to a building with damaged whitewashed walls. As if wanting to escape the scene, on the left there are two women with a child in arms. The characters are defined by large areas of color, creating a sense of movement in the scene which stands out for its light intensity.
