A 1953 portrait by Frida Kahlo of Alejandro Gómez Arias, a fellow student and significant figure in her early life. The painting reflects on their shared past and enduring camaraderie.
Painted in 1953, this portrait depicts Alejandro Gómez Arias, a significant figure in Frida Kahlo's early life. Gómez Arias was a fellow student and the leader of a politically active group at the National Preparatory School in Mexico City, where Kahlo was also a student. Their relationship was formative, and they were involved in a serious bus accident together in 1925, an event that profoundly affected Kahlo's life and art. In this work, Gómez Arias is portrayed in a formal, almost academic style, wearing a dark suit and tie against a plain red background. The inscription at the top of the painting reads, 'With affection I painted your portrait, which is that of my comrade forever, Frida Kahlo, 1953, 30 years later.' This inscription suggests a reflection on their shared past and a continued sense of camaraderie. The portrait is executed with a relatively smooth finish and attention to detail in the facial features, capturing a sense of his character. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by the red background and the dark tones of the suit, which serves to focus attention on the subject's face.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
