Beautiful and authentic Mexican ex-voto retablo, hand-painted on tin and dated May 5, 1937, from Mexicali, Mexico. This devotional painting depicts Santo Niño de Atocha appearing to aid the gravely ill child Bernardo Vázquez, whose father invoked the saint for healing. In gratitude for the recovery, Virginia Vázquez dedicated this retablo, as written in the handwritten inscription. This is a genuine early 20th-century Mexican folk-art piece with classic imagery: glowing clouds, a bedside scene, and a clearly legible narrative text. The surface shows the expected patina, oxidation, and nail holes consistent with authentic retablos of this era.

This baroque or rococo style figure of the late 1700s measures 13 3/8 tall on his 4 x 6 x 6 ½ pedestal and depicts a male saint holding a basket of food and raising his hand in blessing. The surface is very old (early to middle 1800s) and appears to be untouched with elaborate gilt damascene designs on the saints robe. The paint on his hand and face is chipped. Its surface is stable and there are no obvious repairs. I think the eyes may be a more recent re-paint. The item “Antique Carved Wood Saint Statue 18th c.
