Title: 18th Century Andean Colonial Oil on Canvas – Madonna and Child
Description: 18th Century Andean Colonial Oil Painting – Madonna and Child
A South American colonial devotional painting in oil on canvas, dating to the 18th century and attributed to the Cuzco School or a related Andean workshop, likely Peru or Upper Peru (modern Bolivia).

Painted on a coarse linen canvas, the work retains its original hand-carved stretcher.

Unrestored and offered as found, with characterful age throughout.
