Federico Castellón

Indian Menage
1947

A black and white etching depicting a scene with several figures. In the background, a seated woman draped in cloth looks on, while in the foreground, a child reaches out to touch the face of a reclining figure. Two other figures appear to be sleeping or resting, one lying on the ground and another partially obscured behind the central figure. The artwork has a dark, somber tone, and there is handwritten text and a signature at the bottom.
