 | | This drawing, Illustration for La Única was made by Rivera at the request of his tempestuous second wife, Guadalupe (Lupe) Marín, for the cover of a work of fiction she composed that was published in 1938. |
 | | The story contained many autobiographical details of her relationship with Diego for whom she was, according to Riveras biographer Bertram Wolfe, model and mistress, source of aesthetic and human satisfaction. Lupe Marín was left by Rivera with two small children in 1927 when their marriage broke up and he went to Russia. |
 | | She soon married the young poet, Jorge Cuesta, because in the midst of all these people who have treated me most vilely, he is the only one from whom I have had kindness. The scene portrayed here is of Lupe Marín on the right, merged with Cuestas first wife, Natalia, on the left. |
