About the piece

Painted by the renowned Mexican artist Miguel Cabrera in 1760, this work represents the popular devotional theme of 'La Divina Pastora.' The Virgin is shown in an idealized pastoral setting, surrounded by lambs and attended by cherubs placing a golden crown upon her head, characteristic of the refined Rococo influence on New Spanish painting.
