Bulto (The Holy Family) 1939

Eldora P. Lorenzini's 1939 watercolor, *Bulto (The Holy Family)*, depicts a traditional bulto, a type of religious folk art sculpture common in New Mexico, depicting the Holy Family. The three figures, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, are presented in a simple, almost childlike style with prominent features and a focus on their religious symbolism, with each figure adorned with crosses. This artwork captures the essence of the bulto tradition, highlighting its devotional nature and unique visual style.
