Description:
measurements 30¼ by 24in. (76.8 by 61cm.) description signed oil on canvas painted circa 1950. provenance acquired from the artist rosa de covarrubias, or rosa rolanda as her husband miguel covarrubias renamed her, has traditionally enjoyed greater fame as a dancer than as a painter. her surviving paintings, which are extremely scarce, nevertheless display a confident and masterful technique married with an innate dramatic flair. the handwritten note rosa rolanda wrote to the marcuses on presenting them with novia de tehuantepec (bride of tehuantepec) provides a rare and intimate glimpse into her iconography and creative process. "at long last i finished the painting i promised to make for you. it took me just five weeks to do it. you know i'm so slow about painting... "i did not varnish the picture as it needs one month of thorough drying first, then have it varnished with a matt [sic] varnish so it will not shine. the subject is a tehuantepec bride. she is holding the candles and flowers (of paper) given her by the groom the day of the wedding. the chest [is] a present from her family with clothes. the key, her house key... "i took so much time on it, and i wanted to do it as well as i could." this lot is sold subject to sotheby's conditions of sale. as stated in the conditions, all lots are sold on an "as is" basis. prospective bidders should review the conditions and buying at auction guide.
