Plate 14: Main Altarpiece, Chimayo: From Portfolio "Spanish Colonial Designs of New Mexico"

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image contains bold, wavy lines and rectangular shapes. Two human-like figures lie opposite each other with outstretched arms, one dressed in pink and the other in blue. The scene is enclosed by a thick border of red, green, and white patterns. A crucifix-like shape separates the figures, and a circular shape with a laurel wreath is beside the blue figure.
