A stylised primitivist figure of a woman as caryatid. The subject kneels on one knee with her arms folded, holding up a simple ball shape on her head. The artist uses a collage of fabric to depict the cloth draped around the woman's lower body. A collage of painted paper forms the background. Her facial features are simplistic and stylised, and her thick legs have an Amazonian quality.
