This painting, by artist Yolanda Lopez, is representative of an emerging genre called Guadalupe protest art. Many other examples can be found online. In this painting, the artist depicts her own mother as a middle-aged seamstress sitting at her sewing machine, presumably in a factory. She has taken a break from her work to look up at the viewer. The cloak is the Virgin of Guadalupes, and at the same time the woman herself is Guadalupe, by virtue of the sunburst corona at her back.
