"Our Lady of Guápulo," an anonymous oil painting from the 18th century, depicts the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, holding the baby Jesus. The painting is characterized by the ornate, gold-patterned robes worn by both figures, and the crown upon Mary's head. The work reflects the popularity of religious imagery in colonial Latin America, and is indicative of the religious devotion and artistic traditions of the era. The painting is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
