Femme au Collant Rose by Rufino Tamayo is a 1969 lithograph from the Mujeres portfolio, a suite of sixteen prints exploring the female figure through Tamayo’s distinctive blend of modernism and Mexican artistic traditions. Framed within a monumental archway, the standing woman is rendered with simplified forms, rich earthy tones, and expressive textures. Her mask-like face and elongated proportions create an atmosphere that is both enigmatic and timeless, while the restrained interior setting and isolated sphere add a quiet sense of symbolism. Rather than portraying an individual sitter, Tamayo presents an archetypal figure that evokes dignity, mystery, and introspection. Printed by Desjobert in Paris and published by Touchstone Publications, the lithograph was issued in an edition of 150 and is hand signed and numbered in pencil.
