Heavy black outlines and broad areas of intense color give the work a distinctly Latin American modernist \/ expressionist character, while the deliberately simplified forms lend it an appealing folk-art quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe surface shows visible brushwork and areas of substantial paint application, particularly in the red, white and flesh-toned details. This texture helps distinguish the piece visually as an actual painted work rather than a flat decorative print.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting is signed in red at the lower right “Santos Guerra.” It is presented beneath glass with a wide white mat and narrow metallic\/silver-toned inner border, housed in a warm honey-colored wood frame.
