This lot consists of a hand rendered crayon illustration on paper, hand signed "Diego Rivera" at bottom left. Image depicts a Mexican woman of a seemingly humble station. She wears traditional garments and kneels against a clay-red background, which is punctuated by a large sheath of corn. The woman holds several ears of corn and even appears to be carrying some on her back. A warm, vibrant image that radiates with cultural pride and civil consciousness. Done in the style of the legendary muralist and social realism painter, Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886-1957). Some stray graphite marks can be seen on the reverse side of paper. This unframed piece measures approximately 8.25" x 12".
