Overall good to very good condition; one unobtrusive soft crease in the image, one minor edge tear upper center, well away from image, else fine, presents very well. Comment(s): Comparable pencil drawing on paper compositions by Rivera sell at auction for substantially more than our modest pre-sale estimates. Early works such as our example are rarely seen. The husband of Frida Kahlo, Rivera is arguably Mexico's most famous painter. His large wall works in fresco helped establish the Mexican Mural Movement in Mexican art.
