“Sweet Heritage” – Girl with Watermelon

Full of charm and cultural nostalgia, Sweet Heritage is a bronze sculpture titled Sandías (“Watermelons”) from the celebrated Colección de Niños Mexicanos by Gustavo Montoya. This rare piece — edition 2 of 9 — captures a young girl with watermelons, embodying innocence, tradition, and the joy of everyday Mexican life. Heavy in both symbolism and form, the sculpture weighs over 65 lbs. and radiates warmth through its expressive posture and textured finish. Montoya’s attention to detail brings the moment to life — a celebration of childhood, fruit markets, and timeless Mexican imagery.
