This rare 19th-century Mexican folk retablo represents San Cayetano (Saint Cajetan) , a religious reformer who helped found the Theatines. San Cayetano is the patron saint of gamblers, the unemployed, bankers, and workers. He is petitioned in Mexico to bring money and luck to those who bet. In retablo art he is usually almost always depicted as he is here, wearing both man ornamented chain and belt -- both references to his rejection of wealth.
Dimensions: retablo measures 10 inches vertical x 7 inches horizontal. Frame measures 17 inches x 14 inches.
Condition notes: paint loss.
