Pic of Orizaba
1932

A painting depicting a dramatic landscape with dark, swirling clouds in the sky and a bright moon. In the foreground, large agave plants with thick leaves are prominent. The middle ground shows a field with smaller plants and a few buildings, while in the background, a mountain with a snow-capped peak rises majestically. The overall color palette consists of earthy tones with touches of green and blue.
