This is a miniature oil painting on copper of the “Virgin of Guadalupe” by Mexican artist, Alfredo Ramos Martinez (1871-1946). Often called the “Father of Mexican Modernism,” Martinez painted images of traditional Mexican people and scenes. The Virgin of Guadalupe is considered the Patroness of Mexico and her shrine in Mexico City is one of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage destinations in the world. The “Virgin of Guadalupe” can be found in the Prince’s Bedroom of the Fairy Castle which is cast in bronze. The theme of the carvings on the bed and chairs is of Little Czar Saltar, an 1831 fairy tale by Russian author Alexander Pushkin. The walls are painted in Russian blue, and the perforated ceiling is shaped like a canopy supported by pillars and decorated with animals and plants. The bed is carved from walnut and painted, and possessions of the Prince can be found throughout. Moore may have imagined the Prince as a descendant of a Russian czar.
