About the Artwork
An allegory of faith depicts a late 19th century native Filipina in solemn but fervent prayer, her head bowed in humble reverence and her hands clasped to an ornate golden rosary.
She is semi-shrouded in a delicately intricate lace veil that lightly drapes over her like a faded black mist. Her attire is unadorned and straightforward, consisting of a baro loosely worn with the absence of a pañuelo, which lightly exposes her right bare shoulder and her inner camisa, indicating that she's praying within her private quarters or the family's home altar.
The simplicity of the subject indicates sheer humility before God.
Combining deep earth tones with gold accents and delicate textures, this piece embodies spirituality and reverence. The serene expression and prayerful gesture of the subject evoke a sense of meditative contemplation and devotion.
