The Virgin is shown in prayer, wearing a blue mantle adorned with gold detailing, standing above the crescent moon and cherub—hallmark elements of Guadalupe imagery rooted in Mexican Catholic tradition. The figure is hand-painted in muted polychrome tones, with applied gilding emphasizing the surrounding mandorla and base.

Flat-back construction and visible hand-cut rays reflect devotional workshop production intended for home altars rather than formal ecclesiastical settings. The scale and materials place this work firmly within mid-century Mexican devotional art, combining European Baroque influence with regional carving practices.
