Virgen del Carmen de Guatemala by José de IbarraMuseo Nacional de Arte
José de Ibarra created this painting titled 'Virgen del Carmen de Guatemala', which translates to the Virgin Carmen of Guatemala.
Maria, who is sitting on the moon, holds a child in her arms so that he can embrace Saint Rose of Lima.
The Virgin is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, earrings, and a pearl necklace with a gold cross mounted with precious stones.
On her shoulders she wears a brown cloth with a trim and a shell on the right side.
The garment covers a starry blue shawl, under which is a white dress with plant motifs, the monogram of Mary, and the name of Jesus.
The 'Divine Infant' is on a pinkish blanket with a transparent nightgown covering his body.
Under the crown of roses is a brown veil and a rosary, which hangs over her chest.
Cherub-like faces can be seen in the upper corners of the composition...
...and in the lower part there is writing, where a prayer about the Virgin is written.
