La Virgen de la Soledad
Church of the Virgen de
la Navidad, Teotitlan
del
Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico
Soledad
(Virgin in
black
and silver).
Wood, gesso, paint; fabric clothing; approx. 5½ feet tall.
We assume this to be a
Soledad,
but the figure wears a sunburst diadem rather than a crown, and there
is
no lily in the hands, which have been tied together.
