San Acacio c. 1938

"San Acacio" is a watercolor painting created by Margery Parish in 1938. The artwork depicts a figure on a cross with five other smaller figures at the base. The central figure is dressed in an intricate, colorful costume and wears a black hat. The figures below are also clothed, with some sporting hats as well. The style of the painting is reminiscent of folk art with simplified forms and bright colors. Parish, who was known for her depictions of rural life and folk traditions, created this artwork as a study of religious imagery.
