Description:

Mexico, ca. 19th Century CE. A colorful antique Mexican retablo depicting Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners. This representation is among the most popular of the retablo subjects. Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners, shows the Virgin Mary splendidly dressed, holding the Baby Jesus upright on her lap. The Child is clothed in a sheer lace gown, elaborately worked, and toddles unsteadily in his Mother's grasp. He smiles sweetly, and the Virgin's expression is one of motherly benevolence. They rest in a bed of billowing clouds, and their heads are garlanded by a halo of red, pink, and white roses. 14 1/8" x 10"
Provenance: ex-Kelley collection, Colorado.
