Bidspirit auction | Virgin and Child dressed in

Virgin and Child dressed in Inca style. Cuzco School - 18th century - Oil on canvas. The image depicts the Virgin holding the Child in her arms, dressed in a gold-embroidered mantle and a blue tunic with floral decorations, clearly inspired by the Andean indigenous tradition. She holds a scepter in her right hand and a tricorn crown with a plume, while the Child rests on her left arm, wearing a red tunic with a halo of rays. The iconography reflects the ”Clothed Virgins” typology of the Cuzco school, with a strong symbolic meaning and rich ornamentation. The meticulous treatment of the embroidery, the idealized features, and the neutral background reinforce its devotional and syncretic character. Dimensions not shown.
