Stake attention in this memory
A framed graphite drawing, titled "Velho ex-escravo" (Old ex-slave) from 1925 by Mauricio Lasar Segal (Lasar Segall), is displayed on a light-colored wall in the Lasar Segall Museum, São Paulo, Brazil. The artwork depicts a head-and-shoulders portrait of an elderly Black man named Olegário, rendered with detailed lines showing a weathered face, wrinkles, a broad nose, full lips, and a short beard and textured hair. The drawing is on light brown paper, contained within a light brown wooden frame and a white mat. To the right of the framed artwork, two white informational placards with black text and QR codes are mounted on the wall. The lower placard also includes a small color photograph. The text on the placards identifies the artwork's title, artist, medium (graphite on paper), date, and describes the subject, Olegário, as an enslaved man met by Segall in 1925 in Itupeva, São Paulo state. The scene is static, showing no individuals.
