“Figure in Stillness” – Untitled Drawing

Rendered with sensitivity and strength, Figure in Stillness is a signed 1968 drawing by the renowned Costa Rican–Mexican artist Francisco Zúñiga. Created with conté charcoal on paper, this powerful work exemplifies Zúñiga’s deep respect for the human form — particularly the enduring presence of indigenous women in Latin American life. Bold yet intimate, the figure is grounded and timeless. The heavy, expressive lines and soft tonal gradations create a palpable sense of volume and emotion. This piece is an exceptional example of Zúñiga’s mastery of drawing and a rare opportunity to own a signed original from a foundational voice in Latin American art.
