The Immaculate Conception

Ca. 1670. Oil on canvas.
Not on display

This work has recently been added to the donation made by Plácido Arango. It has been convincingly attributed to Francisco de Herrera the Younger due to the similarities between some of its details and those in autograph works by the artist, one of the most influential painters in Madrid and Seville in the mid-seventeenth century.
