"Mother Jerónima de la Fuente" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created in 1620. The painting is a portrait of Jerónima de la Fuente, a nun who founded the first convent of the Order of Poor Clares 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 portrait is notable for its detailed depiction of Mother Jerónima's features and the somber, reflective mood it conveys. Velázquez's skill in rendering the textures of her habit and the softness of her aged skin is evident, showcasing his early mastery of realism. The painting also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the religious attire and the individuals who played a role in the Spanish colonization of the Philippines.

"Mother Jerónima de la Fuente" is held in high esteem for its artistic qualities and as an example of Velázquez's work before he was influenced by the royal court and Italian painting. The painting is currently housed in the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the understanding of Velázquez's development as an artist and the cultural exchanges between Spain and its colonies.
