A collection "Drawings from Prison" were made between 1951 and 1959 in the prisons of the Penitentiary of Lisbon, where Álvaro Cunhal spent seven years in rigorous isolation, and from the Fort of Peniche, from where he escaped on January 3, 1960. They were first published by the "Avante!" Editions in December 1975 as part of fundraising initiatives for the Portuguese Communist Party.

The simplicity of her form, clothed in a modest dress and hat, amplifies her vulnerability and introspection. The delicately sketched lines highlight her poised, seated position, emphasizing her bare feet on the ground.

The soft shading brings a sense of calm yet profound emotion, as though she is immersed in her thoughts amidst an uncertain situation.
