"Engraving with the burin made in Lima by Marcelo Cabello (1773-1842), master engraver from Lima.
The print possibly comes from the book Vida de la gloriosa Santa Rosa de Santa María by Pedro Antonio Fernández de Córdova, published in the printing press on Bruno Street. The print shows the Saint in a bust portrait, looking forward with large half-closed eyes, a wide forehead, outlined eyebrows, a straight nose, wide cheekbones, small lips and a chin that ends almost in a point. All of this, framed in an oval medallion, bordered with ribbons and foliage of neoclassical characters."
