介绍（中）	这件作品属于"朝圣者图像"类型，即在施舍收集任务中拍摄的邪教图像或肖像。在一个让人想起神圣家族逃往埃及的场景中，基多佣兵崇拜的圣母子的奇迹形象被一名白袍修道士带领的骡子运送。背景中的一个小插曲讲述了在波多贝罗和卡塔赫纳之间的海上发生的奇迹，当时荷兰海盗抓住并亵渎了圣母的形象，然后基督圣婴的受屈形象投入海中。圣母和圣婴都奇迹般地得救了，并恢复了基多佣兵的照顾。这些故事的出现或被发明，与在宣教中取像以收集施舍以建造新教堂的实际做法有关。从1706年到1735年的近三十年间，基多处女被带到整个西班牙美洲，北至墨西哥，南至智利的城镇。1735年，这张照片通过古巴被带到西班牙的加的斯港，该城市的雇佣军声称拥有该图像。这幅由库斯科艺术家创作的画作很可能是在雇佣军任务之后在秘鲁建立新的基多圣母奉献场所而委托的。
介绍（英）	This work belongs to the genre of "pilgrim images," cult images or likenesses of them that were taken on alms-gathering missions. In a scene reminiscent of the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt, a miracle-working image of the Virgin and Child venerated by the Mercedarians of Quito is transported on a mule led by a white-robed friar. A vignette in the background narrates a miracle that occurred at sea, between Portobello and Cartagena, when Dutch pirates seized and profaned the image of the Virgin whereupon the aggrieved image of the Christ Child threw itself into the sea. Both Virgin and Child were miraculously saved and restored to the care of the Mercedarians in Quito. Such stories emerged, or were invented, in connection with the actual practice of taking the image on missions to gather alms for the construction of a new church. During a period of nearly thirty years, from 1706 until 1735, the Quito Virgin was taken throughout Spanish America, to cities and towns as far north as Mexico and and as far south as Chile. In 1735 the image was taken via Cuba to the Spanish port of Cádiz, having been claimed by the Mercedarians of that city. This painting, by a Cuzco artist, is likely to have been commissioned in connection with the establishment of new sites of devotion to the Quito Virgin in Peru following the Mercedarian missions.
