In this image Mary wears a colorful garland of flowers which is surrounded by a radiating aura of light, stars and a deep turquoise blue background. In the foreground, the "Espiritu Santo" is represented in the form of a beautiful white dove. This retablo is attributed to Agustin Barajas - the so called "skimpy painter."
