The Christ Child-Retalba El Nino Perdido, (The Lost Child) a Retabla

E. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-body illustration of a person standing upright, facing forward with their right hand raised in a gesture resembling a blessing. Their left hand holds an oval object against the chest. The figure has simplistic facial features, short black hair, and is wearing a long red robe with a cross detail at the neckline. The border around the person is red, black, and beige with a curtain-like design. The background within the border is light beige, while the outer area is off-white.
