Vintage Cuzco School Virgin Adoring Christ Child Small Christmas Stocking

This magnificent 18th-century painting, titled "The Virgin Adoring the Christ Child with Two Saints," is a quintessential example of the Cuzco School (Escuela Cuzqueña) from colonial Peru. Created by an unidentified master, the artwork features the Virgin Mary in prayer before the sleeping Infant Jesus, flanked by two devoted saints. The composition is renowned for its signature estofado technique—the lavish use of gold leaf to embellish garments and halos. Framed by a lush garland of roses and watched over by celestial cherubs, this piece blends Spanish Baroque influence with indigenous Andean artistry, creating a deeply spiritual and decorative sacred masterpiece.
