Painting on Canvas by Abel Vazquez: Vendedora

She leans in over the oranges like a woman who has counted them already.

This painting on canvas, titled Vendedora, is by Abel Vazquez, ca. 1991, worked in mixed media. The title means a woman who sells, and street and market sellers have long drawn painters for the dignity and labor of everyday life. A broad figure in a white skirt bends over a tray of fruit, holding out a green cup, her head wrapped in a white and purple band. A grid of plum and red squares fills the right side against a mottled blue ground. The paint is gritty and textured. Thirty-one and a half inches wide.

One suspects she has already named her terms.
