My father saw this painting in a gallery in Mexico several years ago,
and has been looking for more information about it since.
 
Here is what he writes:

"
The image that I remembered is definitely from one of the Mexican
masters -Orozco, Siqueiros, Rivera???  I think it was a lithograph,
representing the teacher with its hand up, and drawn in black over
white.  The teacher was male.
 
The gallery was in either Puebla or Oaxaca.
 
I believe the image was inspired by the revolutionary efforts to bring
education to the rural masses in Mexico at the time of the Revolution.
 In fact, as I write this I wonder if the title was "El Maestro Rural"
"

I'm looking for an id of this piece of art.  Helpful information would
be who the artist was, the complete title, if it's different from what
I think it is, and maybe a definite reference to the piece, either on
a website or in a book.

It is definitely not the print by the same name by Lorenzo Homar, nor
the medieval lute player by Luis Milan.
