This lot consists of a mixed media (oil and watercolor) painting on heavy paper, done in the modern style of Frida Kahlo (Mexican, 1907-1954).

This framed oval piece measures approximately 16" x 13".

Frida Kahlo (Mexican, 1907-1954) is well known for her self-portraits, which incorporate color and surrealism in a way that is all her own. Her artwork is recognizable for its splendorous color and naive stylization, but holds a depth and a pain that many viewers can truly connect with. Though largely confined in life by her physical ailments, Frida Kahlo was prolific, politically active, and a deeply passionate individual.
