"Five Women Standing in a Row (David Alfaro Siqueiros) , 2008.314.9,” Harvard Art Museums collections online, Nov 02, 2024, https://hvrd.art/o/54223.
Simplified, semi abstract shapes in black, printed on orange paper depict stylized figures of five women standing side by side. They each wear long floor length dresses with long head shawls that drape over their heads and wrap around their shoulders down to their waists. One woman at left is closest to us, the others just behind in line with her diagonally back to the right. They are all facing us, looking off to the right, their faces indicated by short bold lines for eyes, noses and mouths. Sweeping crescent shapes show the folds of their shawls, and cross hatched lines show the pattern on their dresses.
