Votive offering dedicated to San Nicolás de Tolentino is a 1938 oil by Unknown, held at Frida Kahlo Museum.
This painting shows a priest floating in the air, wearing a black robe with white trim. He's holding a book and a staff, and there are some clouds around him. Below him, a group of people in white robes are kneeling and looking up at him. To the left, there's a stone building with an arched doorway, and a person in a striped outfit is standing in the doorway. The painting is done on copper, and it has a religious theme. It's a votive offering, which means it was made to thank or ask for help from a saint. The painting is held at the Frida Kahlo Museum.
