A Family of Spanish Poachers

Oil painting of a family resting on a sunlit sandy slope under a deep blue sky. A woman in a white headscarf cradles a small child, while a man sprawls nearby with a long rifle, another armed man sits behind, and a dog lies in the foreground. Warm earth tones and dramatic light define the scene.
