Hand Drawn Guadalupe in Tin Form

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a religious icon encased in an armadillo-esque frame. The painting depicts an image of a religious figure, which is encased in a structure resembling an armored, mechanical form with symmetrical wings extending outward. The figure is surrounded by an aura of vibrant colors, predominantly orange and teal, while the encasement is rendered in muted gray tones with rivet-like details.
