About the work

Museum text in Spanish

En la zona superior, cabeza infantil de perfil a la izquierda ligeramente de tres cuartos. Tiene el pelo descubierto, con ondas y a la altura de las orejas. Bajo esta cabeza, hacia el centro, una segunda, de frente, que representa seguramente a la misma figura infantil. Ambos dibujos son detallados, creándose sombras que enfatizan los mofletes infantiles y dibujándose todos los rasgos.
