"Portrait of María Anna Josefa Taking Vow" is an 18th-century oil painting by Mexican artist José de Alcíbar, created in 1793. This work is a significant example of colonial Mexican religious portraiture, a genre that flourished during the period when Mexico was part of the Spanish Empire. The painting depicts María Anna Josefa, a young woman of noble lineage, at the moment of taking her religious vows, a solemn and transformative event in her life that marked her commitment to a spiritual path.

The portrait is notable for its detailed representation of the subject's attire and the religious symbols associated with the vow-taking ceremony. María Anna Josefa is typically shown adorned in the attire of a nun, with a habit and veil, and surrounded by iconography that underscores her piety and the gravity of her decision. Alcíbar's work captures the intersection of personal devotion and the broader cultural and religious practices of the time.

José de Alcíbar was an accomplished painter who worked primarily in Mexico City and is known for his religious compositions, portraits, and casta paintings, which depicted the racial caste system of colonial Mexico. His paintings are characterized by their fine detail, use of color, and the incorporation of both European and indigenous artistic influences, reflecting the complex cultural dynamics of colonial New Spain.

"Portrait of María Anna Josefa Taking Vow" is considered an important piece within Alcíbar's oeuvre and within the broader context of Mexican colonial art. It offers insights into the role of women in the religious life of the period, the social expectations placed upon them, and the ways in which art was used to both reflect and reinforce societal norms. The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in museums that specialize in Spanish colonial art, contributing to the understanding of the period's artistic and cultural history.
