Item Details
Description
Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886 - 1957). "Desnudo Sentado con Brazos Levantados [Frida Kahlo] [drawing]". Original pencil drawing on paper. 1930. Signed and dated in pencil, lower right. Paper: double sheet, deckle edged four sides, cream laid paper, watermarked "MBM (France) [middle of sheet] Ingres D'Arches [right hand of sheet].". Condition: overall good condition; a few scattered fox marks; slight paper atenuation of the recto finished image (left facing), tending from cream to white (the right facing sketch folded back for framing); handling marks throughout; minor tape remains from previous mounting; pencil annotation upper left corner, recto; no holes, tears, creases, nor staining. Provenance: Estate of an important private collector, Puebla, Mexico. The finished drawing for the highly sought after lithograph of Frida Kahlo, which Rivera created in 1930. Rivera and Kahlo married on August 21, 1929, in Coyoacan, Mexico City. The full "double sheet" has been folded in half, with the finished drawing on the left, the preliminary sketch on the right, recto. The sheet has not been joined together - it is one continuous sheet. There is a ghost/offset image on the verso of the preliminary sketch which matches that of Rivera's lithograph 'Desnudo de Dolores Olmedo', also created in 1930 by Rivera. Apparently the verso of the Dolores Olmedo lithograph was laid on top of the verso of the finished drawing; then the drawing was folded, leaving the impression of the Olmedo lithograph on the verso of the preliminary sketch. The paper used by Rivera to compose the drawing is a laid texture paper, is pre-1920, and has a rattle-like linen content. It has four distinct deckle edges, indicating a hand made paper. Recent versions of this paper are made on a cylinder mould that have two deckle edges and two torn edges, as the sheet is torn from a long length of paper. Dimensions - Full sheet 24 7/8 x 19 in (63.2 x 48.3 cm); Finished drawing 16 5/8 x 11 1/8 in (42.2 x 28.3cm); Sketch drawing 14 1/2 x 9 5/8in (36.8 x 24.5cm).
