Two Artisans

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two Artisans, a sculpture by Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias, depicts two seated figures crafted from terracotta or clay with a reddish-brown patina. Both figures wear ornate headdresses and jewelry, including necklaces and bracelets. The figure on the left sits with their right leg tucked under their body and their left leg bent, with both hands positioned near their lap. The figure on the right sits cross-legged, with their hands holding an object. Both figures rest on cylindrical bases. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to dark gray at the bottom.
