About this work

This painting shows a group of people in various poses, with some standing and others crouching or sitting. The figures are drawn in loose, expressive lines with a range of colors, including blues, yellows, and pinks. The artist's use of wax crayon gives the work a rough, textured quality. The figures seem to be moving towards a light source, which is suggested by the brighter colors at the top of the painting.
