Detail from Main Reredos at Sanctuario Church, Chimayo

E. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

The image features bold lines and geometric shapes that form an abstract scene. At the center, a large black "T" shape divides the image, with legs and feet extending from either side. On one side, there is an exposed leg with a red band and stitches. On the other side, there is a blue-covered leg adorned with a floral wreath. Curved red and pink arches frame the scene, while the lower section is partitioned by rectangular and square patterns.
