The Mexican market

Under a large triangular white thimble, occupying the upper right part of the canvas, four Indian women are painted in profile, standing or sitting, one of them in the center right, clutching her child in a large shawl.

These Indian women with black hair and striped finery in bright, binary colors fascinate the artist and she never stops painting them from all angles.

They perhaps embody the personification of the pure colours of his painter’s palette that have miraculously rearranged themselves before his eyes.
