You didn’t say how large,

I don’t know the artist yet but I will keep searching.

It is also a favorite image of mine but I cannot provide a lot of information.

I would suggest consulting:

1. mariancalendar.org/la-dolorosa-del-colegio-quito-ecuador/
2. catholictradition.org/Mary/del-colegio.htm

They both reference this image and the first has a bit of history about its origin as well as the citation of a text that may answer your questions. I hope this helps you in your research.

Just to give a word of advice: this painting seems to be from a holy card. And this is the rather difficult thing: most artworks you see in holy cards tend to be ones made by anonymous or obscure artists. Rather than artists, I suggest you try to look for the company that makes these holy cards.

IMHO this particular picture seems to be from one of those Bonella holy cards. (The Bonella Brothers, aka Fratelli Bonella, is this printing company in Milan that is pretty much the maker of holy cards nowadays. Almost every other holy card you see nowadays are Bonellas.)

At least, the art style reminds me of that: it’s the so-called “Saint-Sulpice art” or “Sulpician style” (Style sulpicien, named after this area in Paris that was once a mecca for firms and stores that mass produced and marketed religious goods in the 19th century). Artworks in the Sulpician style is (in)famous for depicting subjects as soft, delicate, and feminine looking. Those depictions of Jesus where He’s kind of womanish - those are specimens of the Saint-Sulpice style. Most holy cards produced by Bonella tend to be of this particular art style (they’ve kind of kept it alive), so it wouldn’t surprise me if this is also one of them.
