About this work

This painting depicts a group of men gathered around a large cross, with one man holding it upright. The men are dressed in long robes and head coverings, and they appear to be in a state of reverence or celebration. The cross is adorned with a red cloth, and a green plant with red flowers is visible in the background. The painting is rendered in a simple, folk-art style, with bold lines and bright colors. The overall effect is one of joy and devotion, as the men seem to be rejoicing in the presence of the cross. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
