Christ Visiting the Children
Alvira paints a scene that shows respect for Christ through color radiating from the U shape indicating His form. When Christ’s disciples wanted to shield Him from distraction, Christ chided, “Suffer the children to come unto me.” Alvira has emphasized their coming, their path toward Him indicated by the trail of footprints they leave behind. A group of multi-colored children gather around the Savior.
