Framed Agapito Labios (1898-1996) Oil on Canvas, Young

Stunning portrait of girl in a pink and white dress with finely detailed lace trim. She stands by a window that depicts a lush green-yellow open landscape with high rising mountains and a single barn. Signed lower right. Housed in gilt wood frame.

He found great success in this line of work and became successful selling his portraits in markets of downtown Mexico City, and later opened his own store with antiques and folk art.
