Légende

'Abbess Jerónima de la Fuente', 1620. The elderly nun's gaze is keen and slightly melancholic, as if prepared for any sacrifice. She holds a large crucifix in her right hand and a book in her left hand. According to the long inscription on the lower part, the Abbess departed from Seville to the Philippine Islands in 1620 to establish a cloister there. From the collection of the Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain.
