The Laundry Lady Size: 42� x 52�
Medium: oil on canvas
For many years, Monterrico, a small quiet, very poor village on the pacific coast of Guatemala has been used by the wealthy from the capital city and elsewhere as a place where men can go and pay for sexual favors. The evidence of this shows up quite often in the birth of white skinned, blond children.
Although this is not generally an unusual phenomenon, it is still sad to see that these poverty stricken people will believe all the promises made to them and pay with their children.
