Bulto - Holy Family

E. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

The painting depicts three full-body figures standing side by side. The figure on the left wears a brown and gray attire, holding a stick. The figure in the middle wears a red gown and a symbolic crown or headpiece. The figure on the right wears a long red dress with a green shawl, with one hand placed on her chest. They stand on a front-facing platform with a decorative background resembling a large tent or facade with swirling motifs and a triangular pointed pattern above their heads. The background is set in an abstract style with earthy tones, including brown, beige, and red.
