Retablo - St. Procopio

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The painting depicts a person standing upright. The individual is holding a cross in their right hand and their left hand rests on their chest. They are wearing a richly colored cloak and have an elongated face with large, almond-shaped eyes, prominent eyebrows, and dark, voluminous hair styled in a rounded shape. They wear a simple golden crown and elaborate clothing, including a long, flowing robe with red, green, gold, and black details. On the right side, a small, horned creature stands on its hind legs. The background features a simplistic architectural or decorative design with color bands and linear patterns.
