A vertical artwork, identified as "SEM TÍTULO (Série: Oferenda)" (c. 1970) by Raquel Trindade da Silva Ramos, is displayed centered on a plain, off-white gallery wall. The artwork is a xylography (woodcut) measuring 130 x 60 cm and belongs to the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) collection, located in São Paulo, Brazil. The artwork depicts a stylized, nude female figure with earthy orange/brown skin tones and dark, shoulder-length hair. She faces forward, arms raised, holding a light blue, flat, circular platter or basin above her head. On this platter rests a decapitated head, also with long brown hair. The severed head exhibits a grotesque expression: wide-open, red-rimmed eyes, and an open mouth revealing teeth, with red liquid (presumably blood) dripping from its neck stump onto the blue platter. The female figure's face features wide eyes, a prominent nose, and full lips, with a subtle mustache. Her body is depicted with rounded, exaggerated forms, including prominent breasts with visible nipples, a distended abdomen, and dark pubic hair. Behind the figures, the upper portion of the artwork's background is dark, with embossed or carved letters, clearly showing "CABEÇA" (Portuguese for "HEAD") and other indistinct characters. A lighter yellow/ochre vertical stripe frames the female figure on either side, separating her from the dark background. The artwork's texture suggests a woodcut technique. To the right of the artwork, a clear acrylic label with black text provides details about the artist, title, date, medium, dimensions, and ownership. The gallery environment is brightly and evenly lit. No other individuals or objects are visible in the immediate vicinity of the displayed artwork.
