A vibrant, full-frame photograph captures a woman dressed in the traditional attire of La Calavera Catrina, the iconic figure of the Day of the Dead, in a small town in Guadalajara, Mexico. The woman's face is painted with an intricate, beautiful calavera (skull) design, and she wears a colorful, multi-layered headdress made of fabric ribbons and silk butterflies, with real monarch butterfly props perched on her shoulders. Her arms are painted to look like a skeleton's bones. She is holding a colorful woven basket with a purple blanket inside and a small doll. In the background, an archway is decorated with bright orange marigold flowers, a traditional symbol of the holiday. The image is framed by a clean white border, highlighting the rich symbolism, artistry, and celebratory spirit of the Day of the Dead.
