We paint our hand-painted study of Dance in Tehuantepec to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 50 cm to 150 × 190 cm or in a custom size. Before Dance in Tehuantepec is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Dance in Tehuantepec show?
In Dance in Tehuantepec a woman in an embroidered red blouse and a wide orange skirt with a white lace hem steps into the dance with a man in white clothes and a straw hat, other couples dance behind them, and dark green banana leaves spread overhead. Rivera liked to paint the people of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico, their dress and their feasts, which is why Dance in Tehuantepec feels warm, festive and full of rhythm.
