Santo

Maude Valle

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a stylized representation of a full-body figure holding a smaller figure. Both figures are centrally positioned and standing. The larger figure has a distinct facial expression while both have simplified facial features. The larger figure's hair is not detailed, potentially covered by a headdress or crown. They are clothed in flowing garments in red and other muted colors. No visible jewelry is present, but an object may be held in the hands. The scene is enclosed within an oval frame, with a dark background bordered by a lighter frame.
