The image presents a face of intense, yet restrained, drama, with carved and polychromed eyes, tears, and a slightly open mouth, reflecting the sensibility of the Murcian master. She wears antique textiles with lace, accompanied by rosaries in silver and jet. She is crowned with a magnificent original 18th-century silver crown, a piece of goldsmithing that further elevates its stature. The entire piece is preserved in its original mahogany display case, constituting a work of exceptional historical, devotional, and artistic value. An outstanding example of Spanish Baroque sculpture, it is of great interest to international collectors and galleries.
