Untitled is a 1798 by Ignacio Garcia de las Prietas, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A print by Ignacio Garcia de las Prietas sits in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Made between 1786 and 1810, it’s part of a batch of 151 prints mostly traced to Mexico City. The set shows how shops bought plates from closing workshops and kept selling the same pictures under new names. This one’s a religious scene, common in the period. The museum calls it “untitled,” so we don’t know which saint or story it shows. Still, it’s a snapshot of how prints traveled and changed hands in late-1700s Mexico. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The print *Untitled* by Ignacio García de las Prietas was produced in Mexico City between approximately 1786 and 1809, during the artist’s active period at his workshop on Calle de la Profesa. It is one of many works from this period characterized by the reissuing and adaptation of existing designs, a common practice among printmakers in late 18th-century Mexico City. The work was later included in a 1922 acquisition of 151 prints, many of which have since been traced to printmakers operating in the city’s workshop culture.
