"Mother Jerónima de la Fuente" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created in 1620. The portrait features its namesake, Mother Jerónima de la Fuente, a nun who was the founder of the first convent of the Order of Saint Clare in Manila, Philippines. Velázquez painted this work during his early period in Seville, before his move to Madrid and subsequent rise to prominence as a court painter.

The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of Mother Jerónima's aged face, reflecting Velázquez's skill in capturing the character and personality of his subjects. The nun's expression is serene yet resolute, indicative of her religious devotion and pioneering spirit. Her habit and the surrounding details are rendered with the meticulous care that characterizes Velázquez's approach to portraiture.

"Mother Jerónima de la Fuente" is an important work in Velázquez's oeuvre as it represents one of his earliest known portraits and provides insight into his formative years as an artist. The painting is also significant for its historical context, as it commemorates the connection between Spain and its overseas territories during the period of colonial expansion.

The portrait is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a testament to the cultural and religious exchanges between Spain and the Philippines in the early 17th century. It remains an exemplary piece within the Spanish Golden Age of painting and continues to be studied for its technical prowess and its representation of a key historical figure in the establishment of Catholic institutions in Southeast Asia.
