Southwestern Native American Themed Limited Edition Lithograph By Amado Mauricio Pena Jr Appraisal

Southwestern Native American Themed Limited Edition Lithograph by Amado Mauricio Peña Jr.

This is a framed, limited edition colored lithograph or serigraph by the renowned Chicano artist Amado Mauricio Peña Jr., likely from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The artwork depicts a stylized scene featuring two Indigenous figures in the foreground, draped in intricately patterned Southwestern textiles with earth tones of terracotta, blue, and cream. A central black olla (pot) is cradled between them, serving as a focal point. In the distance, a minimalist pueblo structure sits atop a mesa under a pale, banded sky. The work is characterized by the artist's signature bold linework and flat, graphic planes of color that blend modernist aesthetics with traditional indigenous motifs. The piece is signed by the artist in the lower-left corner and includes an edition notation, though the specific numbers are partially obscured by camera glare. Physically, the artwork is professionally matted and housed in a thin metallic frame with glazing. The condition appears stable with no visible foxing, tearing, or significant fading, though there is a prominent reflection on the glass from the photographic capture. The craftsmanship reflects high-quality printmaking techniques typical of Peña’s celebrated studio works which often explore themes of mestizo heritage and the American Southwest landscape.
