Also on the shelf with the portrait is a vase of flowers, a statuette of La Virgen de Guadalupe, a bowl of nuts, a candle, and a sugar skull. On the lower shelf is a black-and-white photo of a Mexican family, a bowl of vegetables, candles, and a copy of the book Conquering Goliath. The artist of any work retains all rights to that work.
