About the piece
Dating from approximately 1735, this charming work from the Quito school depicts Our Lady of Mercy as 'The Pilgrim of Quito.' Dressed in elaborate, flower-patterned vestments and a wide-brimmed traveler's hat, the Virgin and Child ride a donkey led by a member of the Mercedarian order. The scene is set against a detailed landscape filled with stylized trees and a distant ship at sea, characteristic of the devotional art of the Spanish colonial period.
