Painting of St. Liberata

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

In this image, there is a person with their arms spread horizontally against a cross. The person has a forward-facing face, straight brown hair, and a halo-like element surrounding their head. They are dressed in a long blue garment with red inner lining and red sleeves that drapes over their feet. The person's bare feet are positioned together below the cross. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background consists of a roughly painted surface resembling a worn or aged wall, with the person against a yellowish backdrop. The image is framed by a border of uncolored paper, with writing below that reads "MARTEL G. CLAFLIN TAOS. N. MEXICO."
