Santo 1936

"Santo" is a watercolor painting by Maude Valle created in 1936. The work depicts a religious scene with a central figure, possibly a saint, holding a child. The composition is framed by red curtains, suggesting a stage-like setting. The painting exhibits a loose, expressive style with visible brushstrokes, characteristic of Valle's later work. This intimate piece showcases Valle's artistic development and her exploration of religious themes through a modernist lens.
