Specialist note

A missionary, musician, poet and artist, Sister Gertrude Morgan created colorful didactic paintings of biblical imagery to be displayed in and around her Everlasting Gospel Mission in New Orleans. Here, she depicts herself as the Bride of Christ in front of New Jerusalem, which is rendered as an apartment complex surrounded by swirls of angels.
