José de Páez (Mexico City, 1727 - c. 1790) "The Adoration of the Angels" Oil on copper. Signed. Copper measurements: 11 x 9 cm. This beautiful piece is a monk's medallion. Monks used to carry them tied to their habits using the small holes found in the four tabs that we see on the back of the copper plate. There are few examples that have been preserved due to the vow of poverty, and they are even rarer than nun's badges. Presented in a repoussé silver frame from 19th century. This lot has a valid export permit from the Ministry of Culture of Spain.
