Description
Composition in black, white and gray tones. Rapid lines, winding, points and shaded. Group of women represented schematically occupying almost the entire area of the composition by looking at the lower edge of the support band represented by wavy lines suggesting the traditional design of the Copacabana sidewalks. Women are defined by black dots representing the heads and all wear long white dresses. They form a non-uniform group of which the center there is a higher concentration. The group suggests be on the sands of Copacabana, looking up at the back, some jagged lines almost horizontally that seems to define the waves of the sea. For are the figures, schematically shown is not possible to determine whether the group is on their back or facing the sea.
