Collection of twelve paintings of Peruvian subjects made in China is a 1840 gouache by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Lima Art Museum.
This painting shows a woman dressed in traditional Peruvian attire. She wears a long, dark dress with a red top underneath and a patterned shawl around her waist. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she stands with her hands clasped in front of her. The woman's outfit is detailed with intricate patterns and textures, giving a sense of the cultural heritage of Peru. The artist has used gouache paint to create a vivid and colorful image.
