The painting features a person dressed in a black poncho and hat, holding a clay statue. The statue depicts a person with a large head and a smaller body. The background of the painting is a muted brown color. The person in the painting is shown in a simple, yet dignified pose, with the statue held gently in their hands. The use of earthy tones in the painting creates a sense of warmth and intimacy. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Francisco Laso, who was known for his depictions of everyday life in Peru.
