Arquebusier archangel, Cuzco School
Oil on canvas, by Choque, Peru
An arquebusier archangel, "guardian of the heavenly army", an emblematic theme of the Cuzco School. Wearing a broad plumed hat, the angel is dressed in a brown coat enhanced with gilt floral motifs and arabesques (brocateado), against an orange-toned sky. Handwritten labels on the back attribute the work to the Peruvian painter Choque. Fine black frame with gilt motifs and gilt inner slip.
