depicting a violent shooting scene, in which a man has fallen victim
to a gunshot, with the shooter still in the doorway holding the gun.
The woman is seen on the right side praying to her shrine for the
Virgen de San Juaninto (Virgen de San Juan de los Lagos).
This piece is executed with paint, ink, and pencil. It is really an amazing piece of
mexican Folk art, and reminds us to be grateful for everyday we have alive.

as if it was redone by the artist for clarity in the top left corner.
