“First Muse” – Portrait of Lupe Marín

Elegant and enduring, First Muse is a bronze portrait of Lupe Marín — Diego Rivera’s first wife and a significant figure in Mexican intellectual circles — sculpted by Ignacio Asúnsolo. This powerful work balances intimacy and strength, capturing Lupe’s stoic presence through a refined, sculptural lens. Mounted on a wood base and signed by the artist, the piece brings emotional weight and historical depth to any collection. With its timeless form and connection to Mexico’s cultural past, it bridges fine art, biography, and symbolism. A sculptural homage to one of Rivera’s most complex muses, by a master of Mexican figurative art.
