Virgin of the Rosary, painted by hand in Cuzco, Peru.

Mary crowned in gold, the Christ Child in her arm, and a rosary falling from her hand. She stands on clouds in a sweeping blue and lavender gown covered entirely in raised gold brocade. The gold is built up from the surface, layer by layer, in a technique called brocateado de oro that Cuzco artists have used for centuries to give the Virgin's garments real weight and texture. You can feel it when you run your finger across the canvas. It catches light differently from every angle.

The frame is solid wood, hand-carved in a baroque scroll pattern and finished in gold leaf.

Every piece is one-of-a-kind. The brushwork, the gold, and the raised brocade detail. None of it is identical to the next.

Hang her in your prayer corner, your living room, or your entryway. 

Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary: October 7.
