So this painting in the dining room at my BnB is from the 18th century and was done in Cusco, Peru. It is part of the Cusco School of art and is the motif of the Warrior Angel. It was taken first to Scotland by a missionary who had been in Peru and the to the USA and passed down in the family.

Peruvian? It looks Baroque or Rococo.
Cusco, Peru (read my blurb in the first posting)
