Baptismal Wish for Catarina Titzlir

Sussel-Washington Artist

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative folk art piece featuring two stylized figures and German script. The image shows two stylized figures positioned on either side of ornate, old-fashioned German script. The figure on the left appears to be dressed in a period costume, complete with a hat and an overcoat with lace detailing, while the figure on the right is adorned in a detailed dress with heart motifs and an apron. Above the write-up and between the figures, there is a bird with outstretched wings decorated with intricate patterns.
