Framed silkscreen print in colors on paper, "Borrego (Ram)," pencil signed lower right Manuel Jimenez (Manuel Jimenez Ramirez, Oaxaca, Mexico, 1919-2005) and Isaias Jimenez (Isaias Jimenez Ramirez, Oaxaca, Mexico, b.1961), numbered P/ A (prueba de artista), titled lower center, not examined out of frame, slight undulation to sheet near lower margin, sight: approx 24.5"h, 16"w, overall: approx 31.5"h, 23"w, 7.5lbs **Provenance: The inventory of a New Mexican devotional art dealer** **Note: Manuel Jimenez Ramirez (1919-2005) is most notable for his carved and painted wood "alebrije" figures, and is often cited as creating the Oaxacan version of this Mexican Folk Art tradition. His sons Isaias Jimenez Ramirez (b.1961) and Angelico Jimenez Ramirez (b.1954) have carried on their father's artistic vision through their own creative works.**

10/20/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT 1122: As described the print has not been examined outside of the frame in an attempt to preserve the seemingly professional framing, as noted in the description the sheet has an area of undulation at the lower margin, otherwise known as a “floating mount,” an adhesive label at the reverse notes various materials used in the framing process, including that the sheet is secured to an acid-free foam board with rice paper hinges and vegetal-based adhesive, however we are not experts and because the print has not been removed from the frame, we cannot confirm validity or accuracy of these framing claims, the sheet remains securely encased within framing behind glass, which is free from observed hairlines/ fractures or visible chipping, close visual and UV light examinations are overall unremarkable, sheet is free from observed tearing, discoloration/ toning, spotting, or visible stray marks, the frame having some typical minor surface wear at the corners commensurate with use/ hanging
