Plate 36: Saint Roch: From Portfolio "Spanish Colonial Designs of New Mexico"

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure clothed in a robe. The robe is primarily light blue with red accents, particularly visible at the cuffs and the lower edge. The sculpture features an individual with a neutral expression, and short hair styled in a simple fashion. The left side of the garment is lifted to expose part of the leg, which is rendered in a natural flesh color with visible details. The robe itself is adorned with a wavy pattern and appears to flow down in smooth folds. The figure stands on a rectangular pedestal.
