Mujer Mexicana.

Lithograph, 3 impressions, 1926. 355x255 mm; 13 7/8x9 7/8 inches, full margins. Edition of 100. One signed and numbered 50/100 in pencil, lower right. Superb, richly-inked impressions of these scarce, early lithographs.

We have found only 3 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years.
