This painting belongs to the work Portinari executed in the late 50s, with deep yellows and oranges. During this period, he was inspired by the endurance and desolation felt by the Nordestinos that had to leave their hometowns in search of food and labor in distant regions. O Enterro is very representative of the hunger and misery lived by these northern people. In this composition, Portinari depicts the figures in his characteristic expressionist style, using a limited palette of grey and reds to represent sorrow and the yellow background as the more promising land near So Paulo.
