About the piece
Painted in 1838 by José María Estrada, this work is a striking example of Mexican provincial portraiture. The young Manuela Gutiérrez is depicted with a stylized innocence, holding a doll and accompanied by a lamb, set upon a bold checkerboard floor that creates a sophisticated sense of space and perspective.
