Santo Bulto (Santiago or San Diego)

Eldora P. Lorenzini

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a sculpture depicting a bearded figure on horseback. The drawing is split into two panels; the top panel focuses on the detailed features of the figure's head in profile, while the bottom panel shows the full figure from the back. The figure is dressed in armor, seated on a horse, holding a sword in the right hand. The horse stands on a rectangular base, and the drawing highlights the sculpture's texture and form.
