Catalog Note: This enconchado (shell inlay) painting comes from an artistic tradition that flourished in Mexico from 1650 to 1750. Inspired by Asian trade goods, painters seamlessly incorporated pieces of mother-of-pearl into their compositions, the reflective qualities of mother-of-pearl, especially when lit by candlelight, gave these works unparalleled luminosity.
