What is the title of Frida Kahlo’s 1931 painting showing Frida and Diego Rivera together?

The story behind the answer

Frida Kahlo’s 1931 painting showing Frida and Diego Rivera together is titled Frida and Diego Rivera.

Kahlo painted the work in the early years of her marriage to muralist Diego Rivera. It presents the couple standing side by side, with Rivera holding a palette and brushes while Kahlo stands beside him. The image emphasizes Rivera’s public identity as an artist and Kahlo’s close relationship with him.

The painting is sometimes confused with The Two Fridas, a much larger 1939 double self-portrait. Frida and Diego Rivera is instead a joint portrait centered on the couple’s relationship and Rivera’s artistic profession. Its date also places it near Kahlo’s first years of increasing artistic recognition.
