A sepia-toned photogravure closely crops around a portrait of Oyí-tsa, a man with weathered features. His face, looking slightly to our right, emerges from soft shadows, thick creases marking his forehead and eyes. Muted light glints off his nose and brow. His mouth is set in a firm line. Below, his wrinkled hand rests against dark clothing, while the rest of his figure recedes into the warm, shadowy background.
