About the Item

Powerful wood carving of a peasant farmer by celebrated Mexican artist José Pinal (1913–1983). Known for his expressive, modernist approach to figuration, Pinal's work often centers on rural life and labor. This sculpture, with its strong posture and deeply incised features, captures both the dignity and hardship of the everyday worker. Exhibited at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, it marks an important moment in the international recognition of Mexican art and culture. The piece exemplifies Pinal’s commitment to honest, emotional portrayal—carved with evident reverence for his subject. A rare and historically significant work that speaks to cultural pride. Perfectly sized for display on a pedestal or console, where the sculptural volume and hand-carved detail can be fully appreciated. A timeless addition to any collection of Latin American or 20th-century folk art.
