About this work

This etching shows four women in a rough, outdoor scene. One woman holds a baby, another leans on a staff, and a third sits on the ground with her head down. The background is a stormy sky with jagged lines, and the ground looks uneven. The women’s clothes are simple, and their faces show tired expressions. The title at the bottom, *"Y esto también"* (And This Too), hints at a larger story—maybe about hardship or survival. The way the artist used sharp lines and dark shading makes the scene feel urgent.
