"Our Lady of Guadalupe (Bulto)" is a watercolor painting by American artist Majel G. Claflin, created around 1938. The artwork depicts a traditional Mexican religious figure, "Our Lady of Guadalupe," a bulto (a three-dimensional religious figure typically made of wood). The painting captures the figure's characteristic dark brown dress, the red undergarment, and the black veil covering her head. The artwork also shows two smaller figures (likely angels) emerging from beneath the main figure's skirt, contributing to the rich symbolism of the Virgin Mary's image in Mexican religious art.
