Used to illustrate the book Pena de Ganso (Goose Feather) by Nilma Lacerda, this composition is presented by Brazilian artist Rui de Oliveira. The book tells the story of a young woman, Aurora, who strives to learn to read and write despite the pressure put upon her by her mother and the tribulations of domestic life. Rui paints this portrait of Aurora, using different media alongside engraved patterns in an expressionist depiction of the protagonist. The portrait arrives in a mat board passe-partout.
Titled Thoughtful Aurora in Portuguese.
