El último pago

Item

Title: El último pago
Subject: Bodies
Description: The composition is divided into two clearly differentiated scenes. On the left are three figures, two of whom are dressed in formal attire, while the third is a police officer. Holding a sign with the inscription "200 contributions", these individuals represent the tax collectors. In contrast, on the right-hand side, we observe a man standing next to a seated woman, whose posture suggests a state of extreme fatigue, almost slipping to the ground. The woman's clothing includes espadrilles, a ruana and a hat, elements that denote her Indigenous origin. In the centre of this scene, a human skeleton gives its skin to the men on the right.
