Thanks for the question, magdav.

There's an image towards the bottom left of a page on Puerto Rican
painting, with the text:

"In Frade's El Pan Nuestro de Cada Día [Our Daily Bread] the peasant
(jíbaro) is idealized as a monument that represents the land. The
figure emerges from a rural landscape, walking toward the viewer. His
face shows sadness, but he is still carrying that heavy load of
bananas (which is one of the essential elements of their diet). This
aliment becomes a symbol of how difficult it was to sustain a family
in times of poverty and unemployment."

===================

You will also find an image near the bottom of this page of Puerto
Rican Art, with the title "El Pan Nuestro":

There is an image which you can enlarge included in a Power Point
presentation on the University of Puerto Rico website.

Further information found while searching:

"Ramón Frade was born in 1875 in Cayey. He was a painter of the life
of the Puerto Rican in the twentieth century. His style was Realist.
He did not merely paint pictures, he painted portrayals of the life of
the campesinos. His masterwork, El Pan Nuestro de Cada D?a (our Daily
Bread), represents a jibaro farmer) carrying plantains. He is an old
barefooted man. He is poor but proud, serious, dignified, clean and
very Puerto Rican. He represents Puerto Rico at the beginning of the
century."

I hope one of these images will meet your needs, but please feel free
to ask for clarification if you have a query.

Thank-you very much, magdav!

I'm glad I could help.

Your search probably didn't find them because Google sees Ramón as a
different word from Ramon! Unfortunately, with non-English language
searches, it's often necessary to search twice, once with an accent
and once without.

Also, on one of the pages neither Ramon nor Ramón appeared, only Frade
and the title of the painting.

Thanks again for the tip and stars - Leli

Well, as the chair of Humanities -- a department that includes
languages -- I should have known better.  Thanks for the good advice.
