About the piece

This mid-19th-century oil painting is a striking example of Mexican regional portraiture. It depicts a woman from Puebla in traditional attire, featuring a finely embroidered white blouse and multiple strands of luminous pearls. Holding a delicate bouquet of pink and white roses in one hand and a dark book in the other, the sitter presents a sense of poise and heritage typical of the era's folk art traditions.
