Penitentes
1919

A sketch depicting a group of people, some holding lanterns, in a nighttime setting with a crescent moon in the sky. The figures appear to be emerging from or standing within a dark landscape, possibly a cave or an outdoor area at night. The style is expressive with visible lines and shading, creating a sense of movement and an eerie atmosphere.
