One of several prints Ximenez created for the Associated American Artists gallery in New York, this artfully composed scene manages to fit several elements of Mexican culture into its frame. Upon cobblestone streets and against the wall of a building, a heavy wagon with wooden wheels carries a bundle of wood. It is pulled by two mottled oxen, driven by a man wearing a serape and sombrero. Although the serape’s bold design catches the eye, it’s only one of several patterns gathered here.
