Diego Rivera – Niños Pidiendo Posada, 1953, Framed Print
Niños Pidiendo Posada is a beautifully composed 1953 print after Diego Rivera, capturing a traditional Mexican holiday procession with warmth and cultural resonance. Children and families are depicted holding candles as they participate in the posada, a re-enactment of Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter. Rivera’s hallmark style—rounded forms, earthy palette, and communal themes—brings the scene to life with gentle intensity and rhythmic composition.
The piece is signed and dated in the print at the lower right: “Diego Rivera 1953.” It is professionally matted behind glass in a navy blue mat with a 1.5" gold-tone wood frame, complementing the artwork’s tone and depth.
A compelling and accessible work reflecting Rivera’s commitment to Mexican identity and tradition—perfect for collectors of Latin American art.
Condition
In good condition overall. The print is well protected behind glass and retains strong color. Minor scuffs are visible on the frame but do not detract from presentation. Matting and glazing appear clean and intact.
