Francisco Zuniga, Mexican, 1912 to 1998, charcoal painting on paper depicting a portrait of a woman, 1972, from 20 Dibujos, a collection of twenty images that depicts local and indigenous women around Central America, capturing their grace and strength. Signed and dated, lower left. Framed. Jose Jesus Francisco Zuniga Chavarria was a Costa Rican-born Mexican artist, known both for his painting and his sculpture. Journalist Fernando Gonzalez Gortazar lists Zuniga as one of the 100 most notable Mexicans of the 20th century, while the Encyclopedia Britannica calls him perhaps the best sculptor of the Mexican political modern style. One of a kind artwork.
