Overview
A framed monochrome lithograph depicting a seated indigenous woman arranging her hair, numbered 12/125 in pencil in the lower margin. The composition and heavy sculptural form strongly channel the Mexican Modernist aesthetic popularized by Francisco Zúñiga.
Story
Rooted in Latin American Modernism, this intimate study celebrates the quiet strength and timeless monumentality of indigenous matriarchs.
Maker / Origin
Signed 'Zea' and numbered in an edition of 125, this print reflects the work of a printmaker deeply influenced by the Mexican school of figurative realism, which elevated everyday working-class and indigenous women into monumental artistic subjects.
Condition & Value
Appears well-preserved under glass with strong contrast and intact margins, though the matte backing shows minor age discoloration. Good overall preservation supports standard market value.
