Mexican Plaster Figure 1940s A3411

This elegant Mexican plaster figure from the 1940s depicts a lady seated gracefully on a pedestal, embodying the charm and artistry of mid-20th-century Mexican decorative sculpture. During this period, Mexico experienced a flourishing of popular and folk arts, influenced by both post-revolutionary nationalism and a growing appreciation for handcrafted decorative objects.

Plaster figures like this were commonly produced in artisan workshops throughout Mexico—particularly in cities such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Puebla—where skilled craftspeople created figurines representing everyday life, fashion, and culture. Often hand-painted and finished in soft, earthy tones, these pieces were sold as affordable art for homes, hotels, and export markets, reflecting Mexico’s unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and emerging modern sensibilities.
