This is a spiritually evocative and inspiring Antique Old Mexican Catholic Impressionist Still Life Oil Painting on canvas, depicting a statuette of the Virgen De Guadalupe, placed next to an ornate 19th century brass candle & candle holder with a finger loop, depicted in low light, likely in the dead of night. The figure of the Virgin Mary reveals a stoic facial expression, with ornate and dignified patterned robes associated with the miracle of her visitation to Juan Diego in 1531. Signed: "P. Somonte" in the lower left corner. There is very little information on this talented Mexican Impressionist, and less than a handful of his paintings have ever surfaced on the secondary market. This artwork likely dates to the 1930's. Approximately 23 1/4 x 27 1/4 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 15 3/4 x 19 1/2 inches. Good condition for age, with some light craquelure, a couple pinhole tears to the canvas, and moderate scuffing and edge wear to the vintage wooden frame. Additionally, the top wooden bar of the frame is starting to separate, which is visible at the upper right corner (please see photos.) Acquired from an old collection in Los Angeles County, California. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer.
