Description

Cover artwork for the marcha carnavalesca "Colombina" for voice and piano, by Erothides de Campos (music) and Jonas Neves (lyrics). An illustration of a dancing woman in yellow and white Carnaval garb is set on the right side of the page, with her shadow appearing as if a light is being shone on her. She is holding up a tambourine with long, yellow tassels in her right hand. The upper-left corner mentions the piece's affiliation with the 1925 Carnaval. The lower-right corner reads "Sandro", possibly identifying the artwork's creator.
