“Quiet Hands” – Alfarera Pensativa

Tender and introspective, Quiet Hands (Alfarera Pensativa) is a pastel on paper by renowned Mexican artist Raúl Anguiano. Created in 1989, this work portrays a contemplative potter — hands at rest, mind at work — evoking the intimate connection between artisan and craft. Framed and signed, the piece is rich in color and character, rendered with Anguiano’s signature realism and empathy. It reflects his lifelong focus on indigenous life, labor, and inner strength. A moving portrayal of stillness and thought, it’s a must-have for collectors of Mexican modernism and figurative art.
