The painting depicts a devotee of Vodou, a religion of West African origin. As part of their indoctrination into slavery, African captives were forcibly baptized into the Christian faith in an attempt to obliterate their connection to their original culture. However, instead of these people totally abandoning their roots; they created a new religion that combined aspects of their indigenous belief system with parts of Western spirituality giving rise to a unique new religion.
