Retablo - San Christopher 1935 - 1942

"Retablo - San Christopher," painted by Majel G. Claflin between 1935 and 1942, is a small, intimate retablo depicting the Christian saint. The painting utilizes a simplified style, with bold outlines and flat areas of color. The composition is balanced and symmetrical, with San Christopher positioned centrally and carrying a small figure of Christ on his shoulders. The background is painted in a light, ochre tone, suggesting a simple, devotional setting. This artwork is a testament to Claflin's distinctive approach to folk art, capturing the essence of the subject matter in a visually engaging and accessible manner.
