Retabla of Holy Ghost

E. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a person in a stylized, artistic representation. The person is depicted in a seated position, facing forward with a neutral expression. They have medium-length black hair and are wearing a red floral crown under a radiant halo. A blue cloak drapes over their shoulders, covering a purple garment. The person is holding a large white oval with red and black circular designs, inside which lies a grey dove at the center of their chest. The background is a beige rectangular frame with two red drapery elements on either side, positioned above the person. The border of the image is outlined in black, and the numeral 11 is printed in the lower left corner.
