Wall Painting and Baptismal Niche 1938

Harry Mann Waddell's 1938 watercolor painting depicts a baptismal niche within a Spanish colonial church. The artwork showcases the architectural details of the niche, including the arches, patterned tiles, and stonework. The use of muted colors and delicate brushstrokes gives the work a sense of tranquility and reverence, inviting viewers to contemplate the sacred space. Waddell's artistic style captures the essence of Southwestern architecture and its influence on religious spaces.
