Wooden Santo - Friar with Cross on Breast

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body depiction of a person standing upright. The individual is positioned with one arm bent at the elbow and the other arm slightly extended forward. The person's facial features are stylized with large, round eyes and a neutral expression. The hair is cut short. They are wearing a long, dark robe with a lighter cross emblem on the chest, and a lighter-colored cloth or sash draped down the front. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The figure stands on a small, flat, green base. The background of the image is plain and unadorned.
