This painting depicts two winged Franciscans, Saint Bonaventure and Saint Anthony of Padua, playing musical instruments (a vihuela de mano and a vihuela de arco, respectively). The Franciscan cardinal, Saint Bonaventure, is recognizable by the red cowl worn over his habit while Saint Anthony is identifiable by his attribute of a stalk of lilies. The painting is a fragment from a large and complex allegorical composition that depicts the defeat of heresy by Virgin of the Immaculate Conception aided by Saint Francis and Franciscan saints. The composition originated around 1670 in Cuzco in the circle of Basilio de Santa Cruz Pumacallao and is preserved in a work painted for the convent of San Francisco in Santiago de Chile.
