Comment(s): Comparable watercolor on paper compositions by Rivera sell at auction for substantially more than our modest pre-sale estimates. Possibly a study for a larger work. The husband of Frida Kahlo, Rivera is arguably Mexico's most famous painter. His large wall works in fresco helped establish the Mexican Mural Movement in Mexican art.
