The Mission Dolores adobe chapel contains the [[Mission Dolores mural]], painted in 1791 by Ohlone artists. The mural covers the entire rear wall of the building, behind the historic wooden altar. It measures 22 by 20 feet and includes two statuary niches. In 1796, the Franciscans installed a baroque-style relief sculpture called a ''[[reredos]]'' in front of the mural. In later years, the mural was covered up with wooden boarding. The mural was rediscovered during a renovation in 1910.<ref name="sfe1918">{{Cite news |date=June 19, 1918 |title=Indian Fresco Uncovered at Old Mission.

Part of the mural depicts the [[Sacred Heart]]s of Jesus and Mary. The mural also contains the image of a rooster, a Christian symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.

The Junípero Serra statue is located on the grounds of the Mission San Francisco complex. The cast stone sculpture was designed by the American artist [[Arthur Putnam]] and completed in 1909.  It was cast between 1916 and 1917, and installed in 1918 when the mission was remodeled.

Funding for the sculpture came from D.J. McQuarry and it cost $500 to cast. It is approximately 6&nbsp;ft 6&nbsp;in tall. The sculpture depicts Serra wearing a Franciscan friar's robe belted at the waist with a knotted rope and a [[rosary]] around his neck. The sculpture is on a concrete base. It is one of a series of [[allegorical figure]]s commissioned by the estate of [[E. W. Scripps]] to depict California history. In 1993 it was examined by the [[Smithsonian Institution]]'s [[Save Outdoor Sculpture!]] program. The program determined that the sculpture was well-maintained.<ref name="SOS">{{cite web|title=Father Junipero Serra, (sculpture)|url=http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=all&source=~!siartinventories&uri=full=3100001~!342109~!0#focus|work=Save Outdoor Sculpture!|publisher=[[Smithsonian American Art Museum]]|access-date=13 May 2012}}</ref>
