“Momentum in Ink” – Heading Soccer Study

Energetic and full of motion, Momentum in Ink is a 1926 study by Ángel Zárraga — one of Mexico’s early 20th-century masters. Drawn in ink, this rare piece captures the dynamism of a soccer player mid-action, reflecting Zárraga’s fascination with sport, movement, and human form. Executed with bold, fluid lines, this work stands at the crossroads of classical draftsmanship and modernist energy. It’s a rare glimpse into the artist’s process and mindset — a study that feels both spontaneous and precise. For collectors of early Mexican modernism, this is a significant and uncommon find.
