St Joseph with the child

Stylistically and iconographically, the pen painting corresponds to the pen painting of the Madonna on the crescent moon (cf. IV Ca 24). It is reasonable to conclude that both originate from the Pátzcuaro region. The Prussian chargé d'affaires and consul general in Mexico, Dr Karl Wilhelm Koppe, acquired the pen and ink painting during his two-year stay. (V. König 2003)
