Description

Nuestra Señora de la Concepción - L. Aguinaga Original Painting

Mixed-media devotional painting by L. Aguinaga, depicting Nuestra Señora de la Concepción (Our Lady of the Conception). The crowned Virgin stands serenely upon a crescent moon and serpent, framed by a radiant halo of stars—traditional emblems of the Immaculate Conception. Her flowing robes in ivory and deep blue contrast against a warm ochre sky, with symbolic flora and a glowing celestial backdrop adding harmony and depth.

The composition reflects colonial-revival influences rooted in Latin American retablo traditions, characterized by stylized modeling and balanced symmetry. Signed “L. Aguinaga” at lower left and titled at lower right, this work embodies the enduring devotional artistry of the region. Presented in an ornate gilt plaster-over-wood frame with a diamond-and-bead border.


Condition

Good condition overall, with light surface wear consistent with age. The painted surface remains stable and displays strong color. Frame exhibits minor abrasions and a small ding to the upper left corner, as shown. No protective glass present.
