Works by Melchor Pérez de Holguín (c. 1660-1732), in the public domain. Born in Cochabamba, he worked and died in Potosí, then part of the Viceroyalty of Peru. No Bolivian museum publishes his works online yet: these are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and the Dallas Museum of Art, which publish their photographs. Title, date, medium and dimensions are taken from the museum's record; the Dallas Museum of Art attributes Virgin of the Rosary to the artist.
