1999 Santa Rosa de Lima Missions Print – Bella Ortega, 26"x20", Framed
This colorful 1999 commemorative print by Bella Ortega celebrates Santa Rosa de Lima y Sus Misiones, a regional fiesta honoring the Catholic missions of Northern New Mexico. Created for the event “Nuestra Fe y Nuestra Cultura,” held August 20–22, 1999, the print showcases charming hand-drawn illustrations of historic mission churches—such as San Ignacio (San Ignacio), Santo Niño (Cuervo), and Our Lady of Sorrows (Milagro)—surrounding a central figure of Santa Rosa.
Executed in bold, folk-art style with expressive line work and warm tones of red and black, the piece captures the intersection of faith and local identity. While unsigned, it is marked with the artist’s name and date in the lower right corner. Nicely presented in a gilt-style frame with glass, this evocative print is ideal for collectors of regional art, religious iconography, or New Mexico heritage.
Condition:
In good condition overall, with some wear consistent with age and prior display. The print remains clean and vibrant under protective glass. The gilt-style frame shows light scuffing and edge wear but retains its decorative appeal. No remarkable damage noted.

Dimensions: 26 x 20 inches (framed)
