Statue of Santo (probably St. Dominic)

Juanita Donahoo

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a person dressed in robes that drape to the feet. The sculpture is in muted tones with variations of earthy colors, suggesting it is made of wood or a similar natural material. The figure has arms slightly outstretched. The sculpture is set against an arched architectural backdrop with red columns and a decorative arch containing a multicolored pattern. It is mounted on a rectangular pedestal, elevating it to about waist height for a human viewer.
