information from the Barnes Foundation catalog
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. The New Mexican painters who specialized in these subjects were called <em>santeros</em>. To develop their iconographies, <em>santeros</em> looked to a variety of printed materials, including woodcuts, pamphlets, and illustrated Bibles. The Virgin Mary is referred to as Our Lady of Sorrows, in reference to her seven sorrows, and is often shown in a mournful state. She is seen here with eyes downcast and hands in prayer.</p>
