Product description
19th-century embroidered silk picture with a gold leaf wooden frame, without glass.
It depicts Saint Joachim, father of the Virgin and grandfather of Jesus.
The silk has some small holes (see photos).
"Embroidered by Joaquina Aristegui". It was common at the time for students to embroider motifs dedicated to the saint as a devotional exercise, "directed by Dª Francisca Aramendia", under the tutelage of a fine needlework teacher or instructor.
The initials "E.P." refer to a Practical School or Public School located in the town of Larráinzar (municipality of Ulzama, Navarra, Spain). The date of the work is the year 1869.
Measures 66 x 67 cm
