Plate 41: Santa Barbara: From Portfolio "Spanish Colonial Designs of New Mexico" 1935 - 1942

"Plate 41: Santa Barbara" is a drawing from an anonymous artist's portfolio *Spanish Colonial Designs of New Mexico* created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a stylized image of Santa Barbara, a saint holding a chalice with a cross over it and a tower in the background. The simplified lines and use of muted colors create a graphic quality. The design is influenced by Spanish Colonial architecture, a style widely seen in the southwestern United States.
