Portraits of Deceased Nuns

This unique funerary series (1700-1800) memorializes nuns shortly after death, often adorned with crowns of roses—symbols of virtue and purity. Painted in colonial convents, these portraits combined European memento mori traditions with local devotional practices, emphasizing sanctity in death and the hope of eternal life.
