About the work
In the museum's own words — in Spanish
A la izquierda, figura femenina de pie, de espaldas, representada hasta las rodillas. Lleva vestido y sombrero a la cabeza, que gira hacia la derecha, mirando hacia abajo. Está junto a un murete que vemos que hace esquina delante de la mujer, viendo otra parte del muro a la derecha. Junto a la mujer varios rasguños rápidos y sinuosos. A la derecha, tras el muro, el mar y la línea del horizonte, y frente a él, varios rasguños de figuras. En el reverso se ha copiado por contacto el dibujo con Nº Inv. 12097.
