The Christ Child is shown with a radiant halo and holding the orb, while an incense burner rests on a small table beside the saint, emphasizing the devotional nature of the scene. Painted in the traditional Mexican folk style, the piece features expressive brushwork, soft earth tones, and a wonderfully aged surface that reflects its history and handmade character. The original patina, oxidation, craquelure, scattered paint loss, and wear are consistent with age and add to its authenticity and charm. Housed in a later black-painted wood frame with a gilt liner. The painting measures approximately 7 x 5 inches (frame slightly larger). A wonderful example of 19th-century Mexican religious folk art, ideal for collectors of retablos, colonial devotional art, or sacred folk paintings. Condition: Age-related oxidation, paint loss, craquelure, surface wear, and areas of discoloration consistent with its age. Please review all photos as they are part of the description.
