Virgen de Guadalupe. Virgin of Guadalupe
Mexican, circa 1850.
27 inches tall.
Carved wood, with applied gesso, and then painted.
Condition is very good -- some paint thinning due to age.
A wonderful old carved figure of Guadalupe with glass eyes and a tin crown that is original.
This is the first large figure of Guadalupe I have had in a long time as they are scarce. Since she is the patron of the Americas and Mexico, figures are tightly held in Mexico.
