Shepherdess Virgin with Angels. New Spanish School (Mexico), 17th Century

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 124 cm x 85 cm and 140 cm x 98 cm (framed). This devotional pastoral composition depicts the Virgin Mary seated in an open landscape, surrounded by lambs and accompanied by angels descending from heaven bearing a crown, emphasizing her glorious nature. The Marian figure displays a serene and contemplative attitude, with the delicate gesture of her hand resting on one of the animals, reinforcing the symbolic interpretation of protection and spiritual guidance. The ample, enveloping drapery, rendered with a warm and balanced palette, lends volume and harmony to the composition. The background landscape, with its soft atmosphere and gradually deepening effect, integrates the scene within an idealized space. The work is firmly rooted in the tradition of New Spanish painting of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, distinguished by its iconographic clarity, devotional sensibility, and refined execution.
