La Virgen de la Soledad
Cuilapan, Oaxaca, Mexico
Virgen de la Soledad (Crown
with cross on top; black and silver clothing; long, pale face).
Wood, gesso, paint; carved hair, painted eyes; fabric clothing;
approximately
5½ feet tall.
This appears to be of recent manufacture. The hands are even less
detailed
than is the norm for representations of the virgin in Oaxaca.
