Santo-bulto

Eldora P. Lorenzini

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a human with an elongated form, wearing a long garment that reaches the ground. The sculpture is colored in predominantly earthy brown tones. The figure's arms are outstretched in front, with detailed hands and a simplistic facial structure. The hair on the figure's head appears to be neatly styled and in a darker shade than the rest of the sculpture. The base on which the sculpture stands has a similar brown appearance, giving the entire piece a cohesive look. The proportions of the figure are stylized with an emphasis on the vertical line.
