Jorge Sanchez was a New Mexcian santero from Albuquerque; his birth and death are not recorded, but he was known to be working an artist from 1935 -1943, sponsored under the New Deal Arts programs such as the Federal Art Project.
His bulto of San Francisco shows a lean tall man clothed in brown robes, his hair tonsured; his expression is tranquil, on one out-held arm sits a large dove. The carved details of his robe are painted gold and blue. The figure is placed on a wooden platform, 4 ½ x 3 ½ x1 inches, and the carved saint is 4 x 13 ½ x 5 inches.
