Figure Praying before Shrine of Christ

A kneeling figure in dark robes faces a pale statue of Christ set in a gilded, arched niche beside a tall candlestand. A red-carpeted floor and pink-washed walls frame the interior. The color lithograph uses soft, layered crayon-like tones, with warm light falling on the sculpted figure.
