This picture was painted when Frida was still in Detroit. She gradually recovered from her miscarriage and began to paint again. In this self-portrait, she was wearing a piece of pre-Columbian costume jewelery. Frida as a compilation of several of these wonders and this one is made of jade tablets. She seems to overcome her miscarriage adversity and looks fresh and attractive. She expressed greater self-worth compared to her earlier self-portraits. And in this tincture, for the first time, she represented herself with the shadow of a mustache. This tincture was acquired in 1938 by the American actor Edward G. Robinson.
