About this work

This wood engraving depicts a dramatic scene where a large, leafy creature with a menacing face and sharp teeth is being pulled by a tractor. The creature's long, pointed leaves are spread out, and it appears to be in motion. A man in a military uniform sits atop the creature, holding a sword and looking out at the viewer. In the background, several flags are visible, along with a few people running or standing around the scene. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of energy and movement, with bold lines and dark shading used to create a sense of depth and texture. The use of bold lines and dark shading in this engraving is reminiscent of the work of José Chávez Morado.
