Description

Rare original 1933 sketch from the Mexican artist

Original signed sketch of a village woman carrying her child on her back, accomplished in ink by Diego Rivera on an off-white 5.25 x 3 card, which is signed and inscribed in Spanish (translated), "For my friend Rafael Marengo, upon receipt of your letter, I send this sketch," with Rivera adding the date above, "Detroit, Feb. 1, 1933." In fine condition. Between 1932 and 1933, Rivera completed a major commission: twenty-seven fresco panels, entitled 'Detroit Industry,' on the walls of an inner court at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
