About the work

Museum text in Spanish

En primer plano, a la derecha, figura femenina de pie, de frente a nosotros. La parte inferior de su cuerpo no se ha terminado de dibujar, estando cortada a la altura del pecho por un elemento rectangular con una inscripción ilegible en su interior. La figura lleva abrigo con solapas y sombrero a la cabeza. Tras ella vemos un balcón de una casa, y a la izquierda, la acera de una calle, y al fondo un arco arquitectónico.
