A framed black and white linocut or woodcut print, titled "Mercurio" and signed "A. Silva / 2017" with an edition number "3/5", is depicted. This artwork is located in Las Condes, Chile. The print features a large, stylized female figure with long, flowing hair embracing a smaller child figure. The female's hair is intricately detailed, incorporating elements such as starfish, fish, and seashells. Above the figures, a dark night sky is rendered with numerous stars and a crescent moon positioned on the right. A paddlewheel steamboat with two smoking smokestacks floats on the left side of the upper background. In the upper left, a distinct dark circular motif contains a stylized hand reaching towards a small bird. The lower section of the print shows the figures resting on a base decorated with a dense pattern of various flowers, leaves, and a single small bird. This entire lower arrangement is cradled by two large, dark hands that form the base of the circular composition. The artwork is enclosed in a thin, dark-colored frame. Reflections on the protective glass of the frame indicate an indoor environment, showing indistinct shapes and light sources.
