This sculpture depicts St. Francis differently than most statues of him. Here, he looks very thin and seems to be ascending to heaven since we see his bare feet not attached to the ground. The work is located in a courtyard to the left of the Our Lady of Guadelupe Cathedral. A plaque indicates that Ramis Barquet, who is an artist, donated the work in 1996 to the Cathedral...so, presumably, he is the sculptor of this piece as well.
