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.
