Virgin and Child
Oil on canvas
Measurements 122 x 76 cm
We are looking at a painting that faithfully reproduces the Andean taste. In it we find the Virgin with the Child centralizing the canvas. The Virgin wears a triangular cloak and holds the Child, who appears crowned and holding the ball of the world.
The representation of leafy nature through flowers, trees and fauna are the hallmarks. The flowers in the lower part of the composition, those that adorn the Virgin's mantle and those that appear in the bouquet are characteristics of the painting of the region (and typical of the Virgin of Cocharcas), as are the red and blues.
