Santo Bulto

Eldora P. Lorenzini

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person seated inside a small enclosed space. The individual has one hand on their knee and the other supporting their head. They have a beard, short dark hair, and a calm expression. The person is mostly unclothed, wearing only a green cloth around their lower body and black shoes. Red marks are visible on their skin and they wear two necklaces, one with a cross pendant. The background is gray with a textured appearance, resembling the inside of a box or altar-like structure.
