Jose Rafael Aragon, “Our Lady of Mount Carmel”
$7,995.00
Jose Rafael Aragon, “Our Lady of Mount Carmel,” Retablo, circa 1840, 5 ¾ x 12 ¼ inches, natural pigments on gessoed adze-carved wood plank. The Retablo is missing approximately 1/5 of the left side which is not uncommon with those from this time period: there are at least 3 examples in the Millicent Rogers Museum collection with missing portions, and a few in the Larry Frank Collection at the Palace of the Governors in the New Mexico History Museum. This is a rarity and as beautiful an example of New Mexico Spanish Colonial art as you will see.
