DescriptionAdobe side wall and buttress of church; 2 towers showing over wall at left.eMuseum Notes
This study of the southeastern side of the San Francisco de Asís Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos includes a portion of the distinctive buttressing at right that helped make the church popular among other modern artists but does not include the iconic view made famous by artists such as Gustave Baumann, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Paul Strand. Ernest Blumenschein likely used studies such as this as potential backgrounds for more resolved works.
