From the collection of National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina
Virgin Mary is an oil by Unknown, depicting Mary, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
The painting depicts a woman with dark hair and a red dress, her hands crossed over her chest. The background is dark, with some lighter areas around the woman's face and hands. The woman's face is blurred, but her eyes seem to be looking downward. Her hands are clasped together, with her fingers intertwined. The red dress is visible under her crossed arms, with some folds and creases visible. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman's downward gaze and crossed hands suggesting a sense of introspection. The use of dark colors and blurred details adds to the sense of mystery and subtlety.
