The photograph presents the portrait of a mulatto man without a shirt, with his back to the observer and crouched, who cleans a piece of land from weeds. It belongs to the historical series of Wifredo García in which the artist intervened the works on the back with an interpretive text of a chapter of the Dominican historical event that is directly or indirectly related to the photographic image.
Curious fact:
On the back, a reflection of the author appears handwritten: "19. (1844-1861) The first independent years of the new nation were overshadowed by the alternation in the power of two leaders whose political appetites repeatedly tested the civic values of the people Dominican (Peasant working the land, in the South) ".
the works appear intervened on the reverse by the author with an interpretive text of a chapter of the Dominican historical event that is directly or indirectly related to the photographic image.
