Pair of pastel drawings of Indigenous Mexican women in traditional dress, from the six-work series, "The Women of Tehuantepec". (We are offering the other four drawings in the series separately.) From the text on the back of one of the paintings headed, The Women of Tehuantepec; "Tehuantepec is located on the Isthmus of Tehauntepec, Mexico's narrowest region, stretching only 215 kilometers from the Guld of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The village is renown for its fiestas, hot springs, and handsome women, the Tehuanas. It is also one of North Amerca's last great matriarchal societies. While the men work mostly in the fields, the women run the market, sell fruit drinks in the plaza, sew, embroider, and take part in local government affairs."Frame, approx. 25 1/2" x 16 1/2". sight, approx. 18" x 10".
