Also compelling is the inclusion of Sebastian Rodriguez Brito, a well known freed African who worked his life on the Mexican frontier as a percussion military drummer and drill percussionist, navigating that unusual period with a well documented social mobility, including land ownership and marriage. Watercolor, ink and graphite on paper, signed and inscribed "El Paso, 82" l.l. Commissioned directly from the artist.
