Portrait of a Young Girl Holding Trinkets, on patio, overlooking courtyard. ARTIST: Agapito Labios (1898 – 1996). Born: 1898 – Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico. Known for: Folk art figure painting. Name variants: Labios Agapito, Agipito Labios. Paintings have been professionally restored by Heritage Art Restoration (by Seyo Cizmic) in San Diego. Agapito Labios was born Agapito Engel Cifuentes in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico in September of 1898. He took an active part in the Mexican Revolution and was put in prison. There he started painting the cell wall. The mayor of the town saw his paintings, liked them, and ordered him to paint his two little girls. Thus his artistic career began. Labios was a self taught artist and made his living doing portraits – painting his children in the primitive Mexican style. He later had a shop called Mercado de Artesanias at La Ciudadela in Mexico City where his work was sought out by collectors worldwide. Katherine Hepburn was just one of his high profile collectors who had works by Agapito Labios hanging on her walls. He died in 1996, and his son currently owns the shop. His son is also a gifted painter, although much different in style from his father.

By a stroke of luck, I have now sourced two more Agapito Labios oil paintings. I will now have three available here on E-bay through my page. So, to stumble upon this one (a month ago), and now two more is a Coup. There were two other paintings available but I could not afford all of them, but I selected the best two. This beautiful Agapito Labios Folk Art/Expressionist oil painting of a Young Girl standing in a Courtyard (at a higher ground) & then having the Town she lives in, in the background is amazing & charming & a pleasure to offer. In researching again, I discovered that Marshall Fields carried his art back in the day, so I assume this was acquired there. PLEASE NOTE : Also, I have left the Offers open, and haven’t set a minimum. Serious offers will be considered. CONDITION : It is in nice, Vintage condition. You can see the lacquer throughout especially in upper right corner where you see blotches of the “real colors” peeking through. If I had the ability, I would get this cleaned and restored to show the true colors and clean off the past 60+ years of oxidation, dirt etc. Which btw, the back is very dusty and had not been cleaned in a long time. As shown, in photos #7-9 you can see a few pin holes. I hope no one stuck a pin through it for fun- I assume somehow it incurred this slight damage through the years. Again, goes with the territory in my opinion, and I assume could be patched… Or just left alone. And there is crackling throughout of the Lacquer. MEASUREMENTS: The frame measures 22 7/8″ x 28 1/2″… The canvas measures 18 1/8″ x 23 3/4″. Lastly, please wait for Accurate Invoice from me, not E -bay. I will have to wrap the piece safely, insure it, and I will require a Signature. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”. The seller is “*hohm*” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States, Denmark, Switzerland, New Zealand, Chile, China, Republic of Croatia, Indonesia, Portugal, Malta, Cyprus, Australia, Austria, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, Bulgaria, Poland, Macau, Czech Republic, Norway, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Greece, Romania, Mexico, Ireland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, Japan, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Thailand, Bahrain, United Kingdom, Hungary, Sweden, Colombia, Spain, Estonia, Belgium, Kuwait, Finland, Luxembourg, South Korea, France, Germany, Latvia, Italy, South Africa.
