Alexandro has depicted, in this thickly colored and shaped piece, a militant faction seemingly at ease among the grass huts of his country. See the main figure, a dictator, shown in profile with half a face, no doubt shouting orders to his subordinates as they wait for the next move. The neutral coloring of the hands here fade so that they are almost invisible. Is this Alexandro's way of saying the militia has a toothless presence there, and that they are not well-liked? Indeed, for what reason do the soldiers come? See the land and livestock ravaged at the whim of the soldiers, the grace of the foliage upset by the intrusion. The soldiers have very erect postures which gives the group of men a nervous tension. The dictator is speaking to a plainclothes man. no doubt a farmer (and with a whole face), and there is a sense of tense minutes before action.

Alexandro's rendering of perspective is nearly perect here, lending the sense of what a large country Argentina is. Ghostly shapes and half-shapes fill the reaches of the paper, suggesting the mutilation of which the soldiers are capable. One feels that the soldiers are unwelcome and at odds with the natural tone of the country. Perhaps the stage is set for an altercation about the ownership of the land.
