This is a mid-century wood carving of a farm worker (campesino) created by Mexican artist Jose Pinal (1913-1983).
This exquisite wooden sculpture showcases a laborer depicted in mid-stride, carrying a large, heavily laden basket on his back. The figure is intricately carved from rich, warm-toned wood, highlighting the detailed textures of the laborer's clothing, hat, and the oversized load he bears. Measuring to a manageable statue size, the unique aspect of this piece lies in its detailed craftsmanship and the expressive posture of the subject, which conveys strength and perseverance. The sculpture rests on a smooth dark wood base inscribed with the artist's signature, J. Pinal, emphasizing its handcrafted authenticity and artistic value.
- Artist: Signed "J.PINAL" on the base.
- Subject: A stylized figure wearing a large sun hat, carrying a heavy sack on his back.
- Style: Minimalist folk art.
