The Virgin Mary with Indigenous (Aymara) Donors Unknown. The Virgin Mary with Indigenous (Aymara) Donors, 1752. Oil on wood panel, panel: 10 1/4 x 7 9/16 x 3/8 in. (26 x 19.2 x 1 cm). In these two richly decorated paintings from the Viceroyalty of Peru, worshippers gather in devotion around the Virgin Mary. Both images feature the Indigenous donorsidentifiable by their traditional Andean dresswho commissioned the respective paintings. Members of the Indigenous elite occupied a precarious place in the Spanish Americas. Referred to by Spanish officials as indios amigos (friendly Indians), they retained cultural customs that were widely displaced by colonization and navigated the imposition of Catholicisma practice that allowed them to maintain a degree of their pre-Conquest prestige. The complexity and instability of racial hierarchies is further illustrated by the solemn young figure at the bottom right of The Virgin Mary with Christ Child, Saint Dominic, Saint Francis, and Indigeno
