Soledad |

Soledad (Virgin in black and silver).
Wood, gesso, paint; fabric clothing; 5½'. We assume this to be a Soledad, but the figure wears a sunburst diadem rather than a crown, and there is no lily in the hands, which have been tied together. Location: First large altar along the north wall of the nave, above the Señor de la Muerte. |
