description: <p>Painted in New Mexico, this small religious scene, or retablo, was meant for private devotion in a chapel or home. Retablos typically depict saints, angels, or the Virgin Mary. Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a title given to the Virgin Mary as the patron of the Carmelite order. In this role, she is usually depicted in a brown habit, holding the Christ Child. Here the Virgin and Christ each hold a scapular, a garment worn by Carmelite monks.</p>
