This article describes "Verse Chronograms" in the Cabrera Portrait (1750) of Sor Juana. The author explains the meaning of three hard-to-see sets of verses inscribed on the canvas, that are a kind of text known as a chronogram, a literary puzzle in which the numerical values of letters that correspond to Roman numerals are added up so that their totals identify a significant year or date. The poems' game-like qualities, along with their thematic elements, complement other ways in which the Cabrera portrait provides a character study of Sor Juana. Because the themes and style of the chronograms resonate with both Sor Juana's poetry and the rhetoric in which she was eulogized by her publishers and admirers, attention to their form and meaning can provide insight into an overlooked element of the painting and enhance scholars' and students' exploration of her reception in the decades following her death in 1695.
