La Purisima Inmaculada Concepcion

This colorful 19th century oil on tin folk retablo painting represents 'La Purisima Concepcion', or 'The Purity of Mary'. 'The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception' as she is also known, represents Mary, born from her mother Anne, pure, and free from original sin.

In the retablo offered here, alight upon a bed of puffy clouds and crescent moon, Mary is encircled by stars and an aura of radiant light. The face of a brilliant orange sun is partially obscured by her veil -- a reference to "a woman clothed with the sun" from Revelation 12:1-2 

Dimensions: 14 inches x 10 inches. 

In excellent, original condition
