Curators' Circle

EXCLUSIVE | FAITH & FORTUNE: ART ACROSS THE GLOBAL SPANISH EMPIRE

Four painted, wooden sculptures are arranged in a straight line. They are four human figures shown from the waist up. At left is a skeleton, next is a red devilish figure in chains and flames, second is a bare-chested man with fingers clasped in a begging pose, and finally, an angelic figure, in sumptuous clothing, with hands together in a prayer pose.
