DESCRIPTION:
Only a few slight, minor surface abrasions and specks of enamel paint loss, mar this otherwise extraordinary

antique
retablo oil painting
of a
'Santo'
on tin sheet, titled
'Caridad'
and depicting a
Franciscan monk,
wearing a traditional brown hooded robe, clutching a rosary close to his heart and holding a long staff. In very well-preserved overall antique condition, considering it's now nearly, if not,
125 to 155 years old.
The retablo painting is still extraordinarily bright, with well-preserved surfaces and almost fully saturated, vivid, bright and nearly undiminished original oil paint. These

with them often being displayed in family shrines inside rural homes. Of course, the influence of
Christianity,
as brought by the

to
Latin America
and easily recognizable
