The Pinole Seller 1936

"The Pinole Seller" (1936) by Diego Rivera depicts a seated woman in a contemplative pose, likely a pinole vendor. Her relaxed posture and downcast gaze suggest a moment of quiet reflection amidst her daily work. The simple composition and muted palette contribute to the artwork's sense of realism, emphasizing the dignity of labor. This painting is an example of Rivera's interest in portraying the lives of everyday Mexicans, a theme prevalent in his work, and is housed in the Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico City.
