We are presenting an incredible original oil painting on Masonite by Mexican master silversmith Hector Aguilar 1905 – 1986. Dwayne gifted the painting to Cecile In 1995. There is a note in Spanish on the reverse: Esta pintiro colgo en una joyeria en Taxco, Mexico propiedad del famoso platero Hector Aguilar. Translates to: This painting hung in the jewelry shop in Taxco, Mexico owned by the famous silversmith Hector Aguilar. The painting is on masonite measuring 28″ x 24″. It is mounted in a great tramp art frame. The frame is probably original to the painting but we suspect the masonite was simply nailed unframed to the wall in “Taller Borda” as there here are 2 or 3 nail holes visible at each corner of the Masonite. Most likely framed after it was removed from Taller Borda. The very appropriate tramp art frame measures 34″ x 30″ x 2. Weighs 15 lbs net before packing. We think the painting is just wonderful with a Mexican “Virginia” White Tailed stag deer wearing several necklaces of silver and turquoise. (The stag is a frequent subject of Hector’s silver creations). A silver and turquoise belt hangs in the back ground extending across the table. On the table, a traditional Mexican vase, bowl of raw turquoise nuggets and a primitive jeweler’s drill. The painting is signed H. Aguilar at bottom right. It is signed Hector Aguilar 1942 on the verso appearing as the same likeness to the signature on the painting. The top frame signed Merry Christmas Cecile. The painting is in good condition and is ready to hang as is. It could use a professional cleaning and has a few scattered inconspicuous blemishes including a circular mark under the stag’s right ear. There is no inpainting or touch ups detected under a black light. The frame is in good condition with a few very minor blemishes. Although Hector is referred to as an artist, designer and silversmith we have not found any paintings by him to compare. Many Mexican silversmiths were artists before becoming silversmiths including his friend Valentin Vidaurreta who encouraged and financed the opening of Taller Borda. All said we are quite confident that this painting is by the master silversmith Hector Aguilar and hung in Taller Borda in Taxco, Mexico. It will make a nice addition to any Mexican art collection, folk art, for the avid H. Silver collector and it would be great in a shop that sells Mexican silver jewelry. It a large and heavy painting. We will deliver free of charge within a 50 mile radius. Our policy for over 14 years… If you need additional photos or have questions please ask.
