A Large Mid 20th Century Bronze of a Seated Woman in a Shawl, Mexican School

About the Item

This large and impressive cast bronze figure of a seated woman in a shawI, showing expertly rendered features & exacting proportions, and exhibiting a medium /dark brown patina overall. Although apparently unsigned, both the subject matter and the pyramidal form of this work is highly representative of works by several noted 20th century Mexican artists, including those by noted Mexican sculptors Francisco Zuniga (1912 -1998), Armando Maya (1935-), and Felipe Castañeda (1933-), which are composed of a woman seated cross-legged & wearing a shawl. Due to its weight of approximately 49 pounds, it is highly advisable for this work to be professionally crated for shipment.
