This unpublished enconchado painting of St. James the Greater exemplifies González's skill. The saint is depicted as a medieval pilgrim, adhering to Counter-Reformation norms, with detailed mother-of-pearl inlay on his robes and attributes like a pilgrim's hat, staff, and bag. The background features a floral border of mother-of-pearl, and the frame’s octagonal design sets it apart from typical rectangular frames. González’s work reflects a fusion of Spanish, Mexican, and Asian influences, showcasing the global exchange of artistic techniques.
