The image displays two distinct textile artworks within an indoor exhibition setting, likely a museum or gallery in São Paulo, Brazil. Both artworks are presented against a uniform orange-red wall, which is consistent with the color of the display plinth holding the lower piece. The upper artwork is a large, rectangular fabric tapestry with a white background and a dark blue border, hung directly on the wall. It features numerous appliqued or embroidered figures and objects in a vibrant, naive style. The central figures include a large, dark-skinned male with yellow eyes, a yellow necklace, and armbands, wearing blue and green striped pants. He is depicted in a dynamic, forward-leaning posture, with both hands holding a dark, multi-colored object, seemingly interacting with a large, red, four-legged animal resembling a bull or goat. This animal has yellow eyes, black horns, black markings on its body, a curled tail, and blue hooves, positioned to face the male figure. Scattered across the white background are several smaller figures and elements: in the upper-left, a yellow, ribbed garment-like object, a dark purple hat-like item, and a small red and yellow artifact; in the upper-left-center, a blue-skinned male figure holding a purple-tipped spear and a brown hut with a brown roof; in the upper-right-center, an orange-skinned male figure in a blue skirt, a blue-roofed hut with a yellow window, a purple-skinned male figure in green shorts, a black tree with yellow foliage, and another orange-skinned figure in a dark skirt. Sparse green grass tufts and small orange shapes are interspersed across the bottom of the white background. The initials "A.Y." are embroidered in blue thread on the bottom-left corner, and "Nº 1" is on the bottom-right. The lower artwork is a smaller, rectangular textile piece, stylistically identical to the upper one, presented flat on a dark base situated on an orange-red plinth. This piece replicates the central narrative and many peripheral elements of the larger tapestry, including the dark-skinned male figure, the red animal, various smaller human figures, huts, a tree, and other objects, all rendered in the same appliqued technique. A small, white information label with black text is partially visible on the orange-red wall to the right of the lower artwork. The lighting in the scene is even, suggesting artificial illumination typical of an exhibition space.
