An oil painting titled "Pau de Sebo" by Raquel Trindade, dated 1968, is displayed on a bright yellow wall at the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS) in São Paulo, Brazil. The artwork, an oil on canvas measuring 100 x 60 cm, depicts a vibrant folk scene in a naive art style. The painting features a tall, stylized white church or building with a red-orange steeple topped by a cross on the left. This structure has multiple dark, arched windows and a prominent dark archway at its base. In the central foreground, a slender yellow pole, characteristic of a greasy pole (pau de sebo), is being climbed by four dark-skinned individuals. The pole is supported at its base by two crossed wooden beams. From top to bottom, the figures are depicted in various states of ascent: 1. The topmost figure wears a white top and is reaching towards a small orange object at the very top of the pole. 2. The second figure, positioned directly below, wears a yellow top and dark pants. 3. The third figure wears a red top and red pants, grasping the pole and the person above. 4. The lowest figure wears a green top and dark pants, positioned near the pole's base. On the right side of the canvas, a large, dark green tree with a brown trunk frames the scene vertically. The background is a clear, light blue sky. The painting itself is enclosed within a thin, light-colored wooden frame.
