Arquitectura barroca novohispana, Ex-Convento de San Agustín en Querétaro.

PORTRAIT:

“Civilian portrait of Doña María Ana Gertrudis Cabrera y Solano”, ca 1770, Juan Gil Patricio Morlete y Ruiz.

Before becoming a nun at the capuchin convent of San Felipe de Jesús in Mexico CIty, we can easily say that María Ana was quite fashionable: her jewellery (gold necklace and pearl bracelets), a chatelaine, fan, handkerchief, black top and stripes petticoat (fuck yeah that combo), and of course a see-through chemisette, a chiqueador and those bows. Not even I get those bows. LOL.

She was the daughter of our dearest painter Miguel Cabrera, and don’t be surprised that the portrait is not by him, since he died in 1768.

Hola, mi nombre es Juana Inés de Asbaje... Sor Juana para vuestras mercedes.

¿En qué formas caprichosas es que funciona la maquinaria rutilante de este valle de México tan contaminado? Bienvenidos a este espacio de silencios anegado y sordo en demasía. Si existieren preguntas en que pueda iluminar a vuestras mercedes, yo os he de contestar.

I also speak english. Pretty bad, but I try... I'm still trying to figure out the whole tumblr... thing. Sidenote: if you see Sor Filotea, please tell her to stop sending me hate anon. That bitch.
