Description
The photograph of the painting is used to describe the lives of Mexican women in the struggling class . The image shows that they are sitting outside with no place for them to go. One woman is holding a baby and trying to keep it warm. While another woman is looking off in the distance, like she is waiting for something or someone. It seems they are sitting next to plants to hide or just to find cover.
