Silvia Pinal revealed in an interview with Pepillo Origel that she would inherit a painting by Diego Rivera to the Museum of Diego Rivera with certain property for her children, with the intention that they would later donate it to the Casa de Diego. The history behind this painting begins with Manuel Rosen Morris, the architect of Silvia's house in Pedregal, who suggested to the actress that the property needed a painting from the Mexican muralist to complete it.
Thanks to Rosen, Silvia Pinal met Diego Rivera, who agreed to paint a portrait of the actress at the producer's request. Despite having doubts about the cost, Silvia posed for the painter and when she asked about the price upon finishing the work, Rivera decided to gift it to the actress. This anecdote was shared by Pinal in her autobiography 'This is me'.
Silvia Pinal, who passed away on November 28, 2024, left this painting as a legacy to her children. There was controversy over who would inherit the painting, and it was ultimately revealed that Alejandra Guzmán was the beneficiary. Despite criticisms from Enrique Guzmán regarding the representation of Silvia Pinal in the painting, he confirmed that the work is now in Alejandra's hands.
Various media reported that Alejandra Guzmán removed the painting from the producer's house, corroborating the statements of Gustavo Adolfo Infante in that regard. Despite Silvia's previous wishes for the work to remain in the family, it was ultimately bequeathed to Alejandra. The Diva of Mexican cinema mentioned that her children would receive the painting once she is no longer around.
