Votive offering dedicated to San Nicolás de Tolentino is a 1936 oil by Unknown, held at Frida Kahlo Museum.
This painting depicts a dramatic scene of a wagon accident, with two men desperately trying to control the horses as they fall to the ground. The wagon, pulled by two brown horses, is in disarray, with one wheel detached and the other horses struggling to stay upright. In the background, a figure of a saint is visible, floating above the chaos. The painting is rendered in a folk-art style, with bold lines and vivid colors. The use of copper as the medium adds a sense of warmth and depth to the image. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement, capturing the intensity of the moment. The painting is held at the Frida Kahlo Museum, where it can be viewed by visitors.
