Specialist note

We are grateful to Professor Luis-Martín Lozano for his assistance cataloguing this work.


In 1944 Diego Rivera embarked on a series of works inspired by market scenes from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The present lot pertains to this series, and is considered the companion piece to a similar work from 1944 titled Vendedora de marranos.
