Girl at Her First Communion 1914

"Girl at Her First Communion" is a 1914 painting by María Blanchard, a Spanish artist. The painting depicts a young girl in a white communion dress, standing in front of a church altar. Above her are four angels, painted in a simplified, almost cartoonish style. The background is a dark, almost abstract setting, which makes the girl stand out in the foreground. The painting's style reflects Blanchard's experimentation with Cubism, using fragmented and simplified forms to capture a sense of movement and emotion. This artwork showcases Blanchard's unique artistic style and her ability to bring religious themes to life with a modern twist.
