Drawing2811/118

Children's drawing on legal size off-white paper. The top of the page contains an inscription in pencil that reads "mourtes 18 de octubre de 1983". Below this text is a house coloured green, yellow, and blue. A scene involving a camp and a river has been drawn below this house. This scene contains a red and blue truck, a soldier dressed in green carrying a gun, seven small buildings or tents, and seven human figures drawn in pencil. Below this group of seven figures is a diagonal blue band, which likely represents a river. The words "Manuel Conpomentos" have been written just above the blue river, and the word "Manuel" has also been written in large letters at the bottom of the page. The word "Manuel" may refer to the artist, while the word "Conpomentos" may be a misspelling of the Spanish word for camp, "campamentos". The reverse of the page contains two simple shapes resembling buildings or tables, and the word "conpometos" has been written to the right of them.
