With representations of Saint Emigdio, Saint Francis of Assisi, the Coronation of the Virgin, Saint Dominic of Guzman, Saint Nicholas, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Nicholas Tolentine, Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Francis of Paula, Saint Anthony the Abbot, Santa Margarita, Santa Teodora, San José, Santa Ana, San Juan Nepomuceno, San Juan Bautista, San Andrés, Santa Gertrudis, a martyr saint, Our Lady of the Soterraña, Saint Cristobal and Santa Rita de Casia, some of them identified. With an illegible signature. The devotion to Madonna of the Soterraña has been especially documented in Mexico since the mid 18th Century. José JoaquÃn Flores Moreno, who was Fiscal Provider of the Archbishopric of Mexico, granted the license for the printing of a Novena to that image in 1751. The composition of Saint Gertrudis is similar to the work of the same theme by Juan Tinoco preserved in a private collection. The San Antonio Museum of Art preserves a copper by José de Páez representing Saint John Nepomuceno, with a composition similar to that of this canvas. For the portrait of Saint Anthony of Padua, the author used the famous portrait engraved by Jean Bourdichon. Reference literature: J.
