‘Woman from Tehuantepec’ by Miguel Covarrubias, 1944:
‘People from Tehuantepec’ by Roberto Montenegro, 1932:
‘Saint Isidore the Farmer’ by Joaquin Castanon, 1866 with him interestingly not dressed as the 12th c. Madrid farmer (according to tradition, he spent so much more time with the church than his fields that G-d sent an archangel to help with his plowing), rather here he’s depicted in 19th c. Bolivian dress:
‘Sor Maria Francisca de san Celletano’ by Felix Zarate, 1840:
Desk, ca. 1838:
