Watercolor on paper. Title: Self-Portrait with Monkey. Untitle Technique: Watercolor on paper Measures: 12 x 8 inches Year: 20th century Condition: Good overall condition, with well-preserved colors and minor age-related wear consistent with the medium. The reverse exhibits toning, widespread foxing, scattered marks, stamps, and a paper label. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the condition report. Provenance: The reverse bears a label referencing Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, identifying Frida Kahlo, “Sin título,” dimensions of 22 x 30 cm, and mixed media. Additional reverse markings reference Banco de México and a private collection. These labels and stamps are presented as found and have not been independently verified. Visual Description: A frontal self-portrait depicting a woman with braided dark hair, prominent eyebrows, and a composed expression, accompanied by a small monkey resting near her shoulder. Large tropical leaves fill the background, surrounding the figure with dense green foliage. The direct gaze, symbolic animal companion, and distinctly Mexican tropical setting evoke the intimate autobiographical portraiture associated with Frida Kahlo. This composition reflects stylistic elements commonly associated with major figures in modern and contemporary art.
