Description:

Photograph in square format. Portrait of seven students of Tomás Lago: six women and a man standing on a bridge. The students are resting over the bridge parapet in different positions: some are looking at the camera, while others are looking in different directions. At the back, there is a creek and a plain with vegetation and hills.

Context:

The image is part of a Folk Art field trip to Chillán carried out by Tomás Lago in 1956. Specifically to Quinchamalí, to apply a survey to the potters in the area because of the lack of a bibliography and unfinished research about folk ceramics. For this reason, Tomás Lago carried out a study published in the Art magazine of the Bellas Artes school of the Universidad de Chile, titled Cerámicas de Quinchamalí (Quinchamalí Ceramics) in 1958.
